 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I am planning a skiing holiday for our family in March 2010 to Sankt Anton. Normally our annual ski-trip is at Christmas, but this wasn't possible this year. Now I am trying to convince my family that the snow will not melt at the 1st of March and it's still freezing in the Alps by then. A source with historical snow records would help me convince them. Do you know of any online records?

March usually has better snow than Christmas and has the advantage of being less busy.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

There will be much more snow in St Anton in early March than there will be at Christmas. Snowforecast.com has some historical data.

tell them the opening+closing dates? if the snow magically melts on 1st March, then they wouldn't keep the resort open until end of April 
edit: skiclub has historical records (only most recent season is free afaik), which suggest that 1st week in March tends to be the point with the deepest snow depths.
