I am at the limit of my knowledge now, need the real experts!
Spring skiing is my favourite. you either get fantastic powder or lovely spring snow and mostly both.
Occasionally it may be a little icy in the morning, and slushy in the afternoon, but modern skis are great fun in soft snow 
cheers,
Greg

kitenski, Latest wigglies showing slightly cooling trend compared to the last few runs.Would you aggree?
Still slightly up for 13/14th but maybe dropping a touch after that,although again theres still no real agreement yet. Not too much in the way of precipitation so hopefully it will be good for you and me.
I love the prospects of snow and low temps in the run up to a trip,but if temps are marginal as they are at present I would rather see little or no chance of precipitation rather than risk a wet day

wouldn't we all? Local forecast here is now falling line with snow-forecast (which has been very accurate of late) with some snow tomorrow and Tuesday, and lower temperatures. A few warm days is hardly a disaster. Today was pretty warm - fantastic, gorgeous day, snow down to 1000m in the Arly Valley great. Anyone going fairly high over the next few weeks really needn't worry. Sitting outside in the sun, with snow still on the trees from the previous snowfall, takes some beating.

hedley, thank you! In Tignes as well next week and had attempted to decipher wiggles.
My only concern is the "high" temperatures on Friday and Saturday, but happier now I see it cools down a bit...
Woo hoo

Looks like Sundays Snow/Rain may be a non event now, on the latest runs.  Just shows how quickly things can change.Spring is showing its hand but temps are not silly high and there really is a huge amount of snow about ,plenty for everyone.

You thnik that one looks good?
I'm off to the Ski Welt on the 21st, and this is the one for there

It looks likley that temps will be staying pretty low between now and when I leave, with possibly a few more bits of snow.

The charts always show mm of rain. 20mm of rain would equate to approx 20cm of snow. A pleasant dump, in anyone's book 
*edit to add* the 26th (two weeks away) is too far away to take seriously although I have been looking at the synoptics as I'm off to Andorra on the 29th. They show the Pyrenees getting the **** kicked out of it, starting on the 20th. All sites seem to be showing major snow events across Europe in the 4th week of March, so lets hope they are right, even if only partially.

and
1. *WAY* Too far way to be meaningful.
2. lots of disagreement from the models.

Looks like a bit of a cooling trend over the next few days (although the degree of cooling has reduced over the last three runs). Then some interesting looking precip towards the end of the month, just in time for my next trip.
