Skies Clear After More Heavy Snow Across The Alps
Skies Clear After More Heavy Snow Across The Alps
Published : 17-Feb-2014 08:47
A wave of heavy snowfall that has been crossing the Alps has brought large snowfalls to Austrian slopes overnight, after French resorts reported big accumulations over the weekend.
Many resorts across the region are reporting 20-30cm (8-12 inches) of fresh snow in the past 24 hours, including St Anton, Obergurgl (pictured above), Kaprun and the Kitzsteinhorn glacier, Ischgl and the Zillertal Arena. Webcams are now showing skies clearing.
Some Western Swiss ski areas are still reporting big snowfalls too.
Yesterday French and Western Swiss resorts were reporting similar falls with Flaine, La Clusaz and Chamonix all doing well and Avoriaz claiming 400cm (16 inches) of new snow in 24 hours. Webcams are now showing clear blue skies there and superb powder conditions.

Flaine and Avoriaz are both now claiming more than a 3m (10 foot) base which should be more than adequate for the 10 weeks remaining of their ski seasons.
