Winter isn't over yet: Alpine ski resorts expecting snow

Skiers and snowboarders rejoice: winter is not over yet! After experiencing end-of-season stress at the milder, almost spring-like temperatures and snow conditions in the Alps over the past few days, we can all heave a sigh of relief, as ski resorts in the Alps are expecting another dump of snow this weekend. Particularly exposed ski areas in Switzerland are expecting up to half a metre of fresh snow, and temperatures are falling across the entire alpine region. Below you’ll find an overview of the ski resorts in Austria, Italy, France, Germany and Switzerland which are expecting the most snow.

Temperatures dropping and snow on the way in the mountains

Cooler temperatures are expected to bring snow in many alpine ski resorts. Weather forecasters expect up to 65cm of snow over the next three days in Switzerland. In Austria, the snowfall will be more subdued, but the weather will still be wintry and cold, with negative temperatures. The French Alps might very well drop down into the negative double-digits, with snowfall expected in this country as well. Take a look at the weather forecast with this interactive map:

Born and raised in the ski paradise of Vancouver, Canada, I learned to ski before I can remember, balancing precariously on my parents’ skis as they sailed down the hill. I started snowboarding in my teens and am now delighted to be exploring everything Europe’s ski scene has to offer!
