The daily alpine ski summary service by Weather2Ski has now finished for the season. Mountain forecasting, summer snowfall and northern hemisphere glacier skiing will however update daily through the summer. Our southern hemisphere snow report service will commence shortly.

Rather dull and often wet in the Alps on Friday and the weekend looks like being similar. The highest resorts in the western Alps will have snow above mid station, otherwise rain will fall. Still plenty of resorts offering uplift currently, though more will close after Sunday. Snow depths remain excellent for this stage of the season and when the sun returns there will be great sport on offer once again.

Fine spring ski conditions in the Alps again on Thursday and in the high altitude resorts that are still offering uplift for skiers there is great sport on offer, largely thanks to the substantial snow depths that remain from the epic winter. The sunshine of course helps to maximise enjoyment of the variable snow conditions, however the forecast suggests rather cloudy and wet weather is approaching this weekend.

Fine spring ski conditions in the Alps on Wednesday and in the high altitude resorts that are still offering uplift there is great sport on offer, largely thanks to the substantial snow depths that remain. The sunshine helps maximise enjoyment of the variable snow conditions but the forecast suggests rather cloudy and wet weather is approaching.

Some light snowfall reported from the summits of the Alps again on Tuesday but otherwise mostly mild and cloudy conditions prevail. The highest resorts of Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland continue to offer uplift and when the sun shines there is good sport on offer thanks to still impressive snow depths.

Dull and damp in the Alps on Monday and this week we are left with only the highest alpine resorts still offering uplift. Temperatures look set to rise very substantially as the sunshine returns from Tuesday so warm spring conditions, even on the glaciers, can be expected with skiing on firm or soft granular snow conditions, depending on the time of day.

There was significant fresh snowfall on the upper slopes of the high resorts that are still offering skiing in the Alps and whilst the visibility was not great there was some good sport on offer. This week we are left with only the highest resort still offering uplift and temperatures look set to rise very substantially as the sum returns on Tuesday. A return to more seasonal spring conditions, even on the glaciers, is imminent.

Fresh snow fell right across the Alps on Friday and cooler air will continue to flow over the mountains this weekend, which for many resorts will be the final weekend of the season. The freezing level is generally going to be around mid mountain and with more precipitation in the forecast we can expect summit snow and resort rain. There remains excellent snow depths in all the high altitude resorts of Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland.

Very mild air in the Alps now means the snow pack is wet at all elevations. Skiing however will continue be offered for a few weeks yet in the highest resorts of Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland and all of them are still holding very substantial snow cover despite the recent thaw conditions. This week will be mostly sunny and warm, though occasional rain showers are possible. The highest pistes that face north are the best place to ski this week, unless you just want to enjoy the warm air, the views and the sunshine!

Significant fresh snowfalls in recent weeks have set up superb skiing conditions on the upper slopes of the many high level resorts that remain open across the Alps. This weekend however we will see the end of winter and the arrival of spring. Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland are all offering really incredible conditions for this stage of the season but once the warm air hits, and especially from this Sunday, it will be wet snow and warm sunshine at at all elevations.

Significant fresh snowfalls again in the Alps and there was some superb skiing on the upper slopes of the many high level resorts that remain open through Wednesday. Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland are all offering incredible conditions for this stage of the season with deep snow cover at all elevations and resort runs still fully complete.

In the resorts that remain open across Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland there are still huge snow depths at all elevations and fresh snow conditions above mid station. Most pistes are still on offer, even back to resort level. The weather continues to be rather wintry with further snowfalls, plus sleet and rain on low level pistes, and only occasional sunny periods expected all this week.

The number of resorts open in the Alps drops back significantly this week but only because of lack of skiers rather than snow. The leading high level resorts that remain open until late April and beyond are offering fresh snow and deep cover at all elevations. Amazing conditions for this stage of the season and more snow is expected.

Now into the final phase of ski season in the Alps but the weather doesn

Pistes are quiet in the Alps now despite superb snow cover in all the leading resorts.

The freezing level is above most resorts through the day but temperatures generally remain well below the seasonal norm and more snow is expected in the next few days.

For many alpine resorts the season end is near now but you

On Easter Monday there was some excellent skiing available in all the leading resorts of Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland.

Some fresh heavy snowfall in the Dolomites and the eastern Alps through Sunday plus periods of sunshine in the western Alps.

More light snowfall and cold air can be expected this Easter week.

Fresh dry snow fell across the higher slopes of the alpine resorts on Saturday but below mid station and at resort level the snowfall was wet. So conditions across the Alps vary, there is some excellent dry snow skiing at the higher elevations but visibility is generally poor. Lower slopes are often wet, but still hold excellent depth to resort level.

This Easter the Alps are offering full winter conditions with fresh snow in most of the leading resorts and huge snow depths at all elevations. All pistes and more or less all uplift will be on offer this weekend and the forecast indicates more snow, but also some sunshine. Temperatures will continue to be far lower than the norm for this stage of the season.
