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 :-)

Historic Snow Depths
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I have copied this table from the Alpe d'Huez annual magazine that gets sent to every property owner after you have coughed up your ever increasing council tax.
My title is a bit misleading probably because they are actually snowfalls, so they take no account of the following weather. that is a big snowfall followed by warm weather does not give good snow depths etc.
The one that caught my eye was December 81/82 4.25m of snow ! I was not a skier then so do not remember it but maybe there is someone who does.

Great table, skitow.

Alpe d'Huez has been getting about 520cm / 17ft of snowfall per season on average over the past 3 decades.

That compares with 700cm+ for Lech-Zuers in west Austria, and 1000cm+ for numerous stations in western North America and northern Japan.

There has been a huge reduction in snowfall, too.

Total seasonal snowfall in Alpe d'Huez fell 26% from roughly 610cm in the 1980s to 450cm in the 2000s.

With warmer temps and less snowfall, no wonder their glacier has shrunk and they stopped Summer skiing in the mid-2000s.
