WEATHER UPDATE 20th Feb

Hi folks,

To be honest, not a lot happening Sad

Temperatures are up to about +3 or +4c at resort levels and these temperatures are likely to last all week, with early indications suggesting Friday daytime being +5c to +7c at 1300 to 1500m ASL.

There is a slight chance of some snow at higher levels around Thursday but it is not significant. Temperatures will drop briefly by Friday night with a chance of snow lasting into Saturday but again, nothing major.

Cheers Mark.

It's good there is good weather now. We went first week of March last year and timed it brilliantly. We also spoke to loads of people who have been same time time of year every year always had good snow.

My reasoning is...

If plenty of snow in Feb then it does not matter if 1st week of March has no snow.

The good news this year is that there has been so much snow so far it will take ages to melt.

Even so, I am still secretly desperate for that perfect dump of snow at the right time so we get some good powder skiing ;-)

Looking forward to your next update!
