It has been a very sunny week in ski resorts in Europe with the majority of fresh snowfall in just Swiss and Italian ski resorts. Lower ski villages are transforming into spring but snow conditions on the mountains are still really good in many resorts across Europe. Over the weekend the clouds are forecast to move in and new arrivals may be greeted to some fresh snow as they reach resort , plus even more snow is predicted to come mid-week next week.
France
Spring is in full swing in French ski resorts with beautiful sunshine dominating most of the week. Snow is still good as there are deep snow bases in the majority of resorts. There was a flutter of snow at the start of the week with Val d’Isere getting the best of the fresh snow (31cm). Bonneval-sur-Arc and Isola 2000 received 25 cm, Tignes 15 cm and Risoul 10 cm.

There’s been no fresh snow in Austria this week but snow conditions are still great and many resorts still have a upper snow base of over 200 cm, including Solden, Kaunertal, Pitztal, Kaprun, Hintertux, St Anton, Bad Gastein and Neustift.
