Big snow on the way from SkiClub.co.uk
Friday 21 November 2008

Here it comes, heavy snow is set to fall across the Alps over the weekend followed by cold mid-week temperatures. Switzerland and Austria are expecting up to 115cm in places, and temperatures are set to stay down preserving the great conditions. Time for an early season trip perhaps?

Well where do we start? Four resorts in Austria are hoping to open this weekend including Axamer Lizum, Obertauern, Schladming and Zell am See. Obergurgl opened last weekend, a week ahead of schedule, and now has runs open down to the village.

In Switzerland, Crans Montana, Davos/Klosters, St Moritz and Wengen are all hoping to open on Saturday and the forecast means it should be a great first weekend for them.
Zermatt has by far the most skiing available at the moment, with a massive 163km of pistes open and the snow is deep enough to ski over to their area linked with Cervinia.

Over in France, it's currently possible to ski back down to the bottom of the funicular at Tignes only via the Double M piste, but the new snow should help to open more runs.
Val Thorens is set to open on Saturday, and though they have been operating their snow cannons all week, Mother Nature should be able to help ensure some good snow good cover!

In Italy, 54cm of new snow is forecast to fall in Cervinia by Monday and temperatures on the upper slopes will fall to -20ºc. The snow conditions should be fantastic over the weekend but be sure to wrap up into next week as it will feel cold.

AND THE SNOW JUST KEEPS COMING...

Good news in Andorra, as all resorts we report on are all planning to open a week early. The Grandvalira resorts of Soldeu and Pas de la Casa as well as the Vallnord resorts of Arcalis, Pal and Arinsal are all opening on Saturday 22nd.
Oppdal in Sweden is ahead of the game as it has already received lots of new snow this week. It's forecast to last until Friday afternoon when the skies are expected to clear. The sun should stay for the weekend and temperatures will be low, so expect some fantastic powder conditions up there!
