Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

What worries me, is that there has been so much rain in the summer, there might not be any left for making snow later! Though there shouldn't be any problem filling the reservoirs for artificial snow.

It appears that heavy snow is forecast for the ski amade area beginning the 12th October. In Schladming this is down to valley level and is set to continue for a few days at least, and hopefully beyond! Some people are forecast around a foot of snow and nearly that much in the valley! Unfortunately because Schladming is in the constrcution of their new 8 man lift i am not sure that we will see any super early openings unless they finish it extremely quickly.

Wouldn't expect any snow to stay sub 1500m but it will mean that the glaciers will start to increase their base.

As others have reported, it is snowing in the Austrian Alps and more is forecast for the rest of the week. Here is a picture of the Wilder Kaiser with a first sprinkling of snow, as seen from Kössen.

Hi,

The first snow has arrived today.Yet last week the temp was over 25oC!!

I don't think it will stay on the ground for long since it is wet underneath and we haven't tidied the garden up yet or put our snow tyres on.

This is the earliest for snow in the village for the 5 seasons we have been here.

The web cam is now on,

Nigel

Obertauern already claiming impressive 50/70cm on their website. Seems a lot to melt Smile

I just wonder how this weather will affect the construction of new lifts. Can they still build them in the snow? Puzzled

Take a look at the distribution of the white stuff on this satellite picture! It is a real-time view.

http://www.sat24.com/alps

Way more of it eastwards of central Switzerland which rather surprises me as the cold airstream causing this moved from west to east initially.

I love the Sat24 satellite pictures and have them running in the background all day on my laptop! It makes the Met Office static pressure maps come to life - but I'm a bit of a weather geek, so I'm easily pleased!

waynos that is exactly what i was thinking from looking at the forecast yesterday! I seem to recall them saying that it was the first october opening for 25 years but it would be great to have another October opening! I am going to schladming in January again this year so i hope the conditions are great and a good snowbase is present from early on.

Obertauern snow depth increased to 65cm/90cm and it is going to snow today as well.

Kaprun website saying:

"Following abundant snow falls, our Kitzsteinhorn team is working flat out to groom perfectly prepared slopes, down to the Alpincenter, for the coming weekend"

Lovely fresh snow overnight at Serfaus. Their forecast for today says:

Quote:
This first autumnal cold surge is not only very intense, but it will also determine our weather for long. All in all, the weather may somewhat calm down, though a significant weather improvement or even a significant temperature rise is not expected. On the contrary, on Saturday, a new cold front will bring further snow clouds from the north. The cloud windows, which will open on Thursday and Friday, will soon close again, also the weekend will bring early winter weather.
