Poster: A snowHead
|
Doing Switzerland for the first time this year (excepting over the border from Cervinia and Avoriaz that is), and going to Zematt. Good snow forecast for Sunday. First decent dump of the year if it happens (on much maligned but addictive Snow forecast). Looks a good start for a so called relatively 'dry' resort. Only another 107 days of checking online!

Pam good to hear, I do like Snow forecast, and take it each year to resort. Nearly always right for the next 4 or 5 days.
Brian, should I follow the address at the bottom for this??
Sorry for ignorance, but looks a lot better for me than wigglies (hence snow forecast), and SCGB snow reports

Mrs telford_mike is in Zermatt at the moment with a load of Canadians - apparently they all went out and rented powder skis yesterday afternoon.

brian, so 28/25 means ?

You know it makes sense.

boardiac, 28cm current snow depth with 25cm of that in the last 24 hrs

As far as I know Verbier are still planning on opening on the 6th, although its mild right now and they will take a hit before it cools down this weekend.
Zermatt was shut for skiing (but not for drinking!) all last weekend; the wind was registering 114km at one point on Saturday, not much Fohn

kitenski, from the Verbier website:
"Même si la neige est tombée ces derniers jours, le fort vent en altitude n’a pas permis d’avoir une couche de neige suffisante pour recouvrir les pistes.
Nous ne pouvons pas ouvrir le domaine ce week-end.
Mais si les conditions le permettent, le Lac des Vaux ouvrira le samedi 6 novembre.
Rendez-vous le 3 novembre pour le verdict !"
...in other words maybe the Lac des Vaux area to open this weekend, confirmed tomorrow, other areas have been too windy to get a good enough coverage.

Whitters, I sure hope so as most places stayed shut last weekend and I just got back so was very disappointed. Still nothing out on the hills near me but it did look dark tonight.

Snowline forecast at 2200m tonight and tomorrow so Lac de Vaux should be ok as above that. You could be skiing in a t-shirt on Sunday.....
