Hi Hornster,
could you clarify the snow figures at metcheck for me please. it says friday 20cm and Sat 3cm is this the amount predicted to fall that day or the actual predicted on the ground? and are the figures for the freezing level indicating that 0c will be closer to the bottom of the mountain on sat than fri? Or am I being completey stupid? Also what relevance is the hight of freezing level for me snowboarding from top to bottom of mountain or the snow quality? Cheers All for any help ...

When you see 20cm and 2cm etc that is the amoun tof snow that is forecasted to fall and not the snow cover on the ground. 0' indicates where freezing level is forecasted to be and is not the bottom of the mountain. The relevance of knowing where the freezing level is likely to be is a varied one really. Generally, you want it to be below freezing for long period of time so that the fresh snow has time to consolidate before the thaw, higher temperatures arrive, which will melt some ...
Hi Guy,
When you see 20cm and 2cm etc that is the amoun tof snow that is forecasted to fall and not the snow cover on the ground. 0' indicates where freezing level is forecasted to be and is not the bottom of the mountain. The relevance of knowing where the freezing level is likely to be is a varied one really. Generally, you want it to be below freezing for long period of time so that the fresh snow has time to consolidate before the thaw, higher temperatures arrive, which will melt some of the snow. This freeze-thaw effect is crucial to a good solid snow pack.
Cheers Hornster,
Understand the relevence a little better now. I guess its a matter of timing as well. you dont want to be boarding on ice yet dont want it to melt either. I say let it snow loads and ice low at night. Especially all next week!
