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 :-)

The monterosa region suffered a bit of a warm spell over the last couple of days, with snow retreating from the lower slopes whilst still remaining acceptable on higher levels. The FL is meant to drop below 1300m this weekend so things are looking up Very Happy

It certainly seems like a beautiful resort. I wouldn't mind visiting it whenever I was able to get the free time and funds. Now, I'm curious: just how long was this resort under construction? I hadn't heard anything about it and my Aunt is a big-time ski-ing/snowboarding buff. Maybe she heard of it and didn't bother to inform me. Ah well.

Arabba's doing OK with 80/40cm after a heavy snowfall on the 22nd.

Should be good for opening day on 3rd December.

For anyone wanting to keep an eye on snow in the Dolomites, the reports from ARPAV are quite detailed, regularly updated and translated into English:

Forecast is for more snow down to resort level over the weekend.

ARPAV are reporting 34cm of fresh snow at 2250m above Arabba in 96 hours over the weekend, the snowpack at that altitude stands at 118cm with snowcover complete across both sides of the valley.

http://www.arpa.veneto.it/bollettini/htm/dolomiti_neve_e_valanghe_en.asp

Forecast is for 20-40 cm more snow over the next 3 days with low freeze levels. Looking good for anyone heading out to the Dolomites for the start of the season. Good base being laid down for the rest of the season too.

Hi All

Bit confused. Going to Passo Tonale next Mon (20th Dec) for first ever family ski trip (bit excited Very Happy). Booked here because we had to go early in season and this seemed a reasonable bet for snow.

Been looking at this site to check on snow for past few weeks

http://www.onthesnow.co.uk/all-italy/passo-tonale/resort_guide.html?gclid=COG6qeGm4aQCFZtp4wodcnPQKg

It seems to say there is plenty of snow even on the lower slopes we'll be on and all slopes are open but there does not seem to have been any new snow for weeks? I know there is little I can do about it but is this normal and is "old" snow going to be hard packed ice by the time we get there?

Any views?

Cheers

Rob

RobWa, I'd be surprised if there's too much to worry about to be honest - http://www.j2ski.com/snow_forecast/Italy/Passo_Tonale_snow_report.html seems to suggest, as you say, plenty of snow already. Seems there may be a freshen up of a few cms before you arrive. Some very cold temps though but, as long as the wind isn't blowing off the softer snow, I'm sure it'll be fine snowHead

RobWa, I skied there with my family in January a number of years back and it was our first solo trip. We thought the area was the right size for a second week out and the instruction was excellent. I understand that the area has better links to the next village now, so there is more to explore. It is basically the top of a mountain pass with the road running through the middle of the village. It had a very good feel to the place, Enjoy and I would echo that snow looks to be fine.

Mmmm, milder temps may mean rain in Dolomite resorts up to around 1800m on Wed/Thurs and dropping down to 1000m by Fri eve, but lots of new snow at altitude, according to ARPAV.

Bartezki, thanks for the 'on the snow' report from the Dolomites!

Reports show around 40cm of new snow at altitude across most of the area Thursday through to this morning.

More snow forecast for today and tomorrow (15-30cm) with freeze levels dropping too, no more rain in resort please!


It's looking good right across the Italian Alps for anyone heading out Christmas weekend with new snow in most resorts over the last 2 days, Passo Tonale & Bormio reported 50cm of new snow today!

Forecasts are for it to be generally sunny and cold this week until New Year at least.

Arabba is reporting 15 cm of fresh snowfall for today!!! That is a bit of a surprise as only 2cm of sleetiness was forecast!!! Could be on the Marmolada glacier I suppose.

http://www.dolomitisuperski.com/en-US/1971EN.html


After no significant snowfall across most the Dolomites since Xmas weekend, it's looking very hopeful for a welcome snowfall on Monday into Tuesday, possibly around 20cm+ and down to around 1200m, but of course that will vary locally.

http://www.arpa.veneto.it/bollettini/htm/dolomiti_meteo_en.asp

That should freshen things up a bit!

It's forecast to get unseasonably mild as the week progresses, but hopefully there's no precipitation that could fall as rain either!
