Snow forecasting (no crystal ball required)...

Well, snow has arrived in the Alps and several resorts have already opened for business (the Italian resorts of Cervinia and Val Senales reporting 40cm of fresh snow and great conditions over the weekend). Verbier has also had some recent snowfall. We thought we'd help those looking for a snow forecast by providing useful links to snow conditions and weather updates for some of our favourite resorts…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zinal too is looking pretty good and will be opening next weekend (17 November)!!!
