The precipitation on the 20th January looks to have intensified at the same time as the temperatures dropping to around the –2’C mark which means that there is still a chance for that to fall as snow. But the temperatures do start to rise considerably for a few days afterwards which is not brilliant but at least it will allow for some freeze-thaw activity of the fresh snow increasing the snowpack stability and longevity.

As mentioned by my pal Benson’s update this morning, next week is not looking very encouraging with the high temperatures continuing to prevail on all weather charts. However, it does look like there may be a chance of snow around the 25/26 January so you may get a couple days worth of skiing at the end of the week on fresh snow. At this stage the charts are indicating temperatures a little bit above the freezing level around the 25/26 January so we can’t be certain as to how much of that precipitation will fall as snow and in what quantity.

Things are still looking good for a much colder spell and several days of snowfall from around the 25th January to the 3rd February (charts don’t go further at this stage) which is likely to totally rejuvenate the pistes and increase the possibility of some off-piste skiing/boarding after a few days to allow the avalanches to settle and the snowpack to consolidate!

God, how I pray that the charts stay like this (or get even better!!) as I arrive on the 27th January and if the current weather charts prove to be correct then I’m in for a
