I've had Easter in La Tania at 1300m for many years without any issues....

kitenski, but La Tania has rapid access to much higher snow, and a variety of aspects. I wouldn't call La Tania a "low altitude resort". It's a middling altitude gateway into one of the best ski domains in the world!

But I have been able to ski down to it every Easter, no matter how late, I guess my point is that it's also aspect that helps!
But back on topic, 06z Wigglies seem to be leaning towards a nice continuation of the cold spell (esp in Stuben where I am off on the 9th) but also in La Tania that looks very white on the webcams!

kitenski, yes, everywhere round here is white. It blue a hooley around 1 pm and dumped 6 - 10" of snow in an hour or two, after the temperature dropped from 4 to -2 in a v short time. I don't have a barometer - I think I might get one.
It's snowing again now, after a sudden fantastic sunny last hour to the ski day, a just reward, with fresh tracks, for those who braved the tempest (during which many lifts were closed, of course).
Looking good for Easter. We've always been able to ski down here, till the last croak of the season around 24 April, but I still wouldn't recommend it for Easter. We're stuck with it, obviously, but there's just not enough altitude above us for reliable snow conditions (as opposed to white stuff you can just about slide around on) that late.

brian, watching the wigglies for St Anton they were predicing some nice dumpage next Fri/sat which seems to have disappeared and been replaced with some warmer temps, similiar to your chart above!
What do you reckon of this disturbance around the 13th thru 15th, too far away to call at the moment???

brian, that would be the dump of the season if it actually came about! A few of the earlier runs have intimated something round the fifteenth, but that would be big. Will be interesting to see if it develops or presumably more likely fades!!

kitenski, yeah, still a long way out. One to watch though.
Interestingly, the longer term trend looks like another pressure build in the far north. Winter may not be quite done with the Highlands yet.

Quintessential spring skiing day today. Finished at 2 pm, with a shade temperature of 17 degrees at 1550m.

arv, multiply the numbers on the lines by 10, eg. 140 = 1400m.

GFS 12z is a bit of a horror show in FI, warm and wet.

Wags, it might be a bit cooler than the lines suggest...but it's still pretty warm! Anything above the red line ('average') is bad news, and it looks waaaay above at the moment.
andyph, on the plus side, pisted snow is surprisingly durable and there's nothing like skiing in lovely warm temps

looks like some major dumpage and cold temps coming next weekend! Last week in Chamonix on the midi could be a powderfest!!!

A rather early prediction for 2010/2011 which possibly breaks the three day rule but...
""at the moment it looks as though there is a high probability that next winter will again be colder than average." www.theweatheroutlook.com/

Might be an early prediction but lets not forget these boys have been spot on in the past , these boys have a high success rate and last winters forecast in Nov was almost perfect .

And another early prediction by Bastardi, who says next winter in Europe is going to be... cold,
"by the way... Winter looks cold again this year..." ( www.accuweather.com/ukie/bastardi-europe-blog.asp ).
Bastardi of course is fairly keen on the cold story and sometimes rather 'direct,' but another vote for cold anyway and only a few BBQs into summer...
