Ski forecast...

Everyone...start willing this eastwards...please..


A sign of relief from many living out here for the Winter season, and also for holiday makers heading to the pistes in search of powder.

Although snow canons have been going 24/7 in many resorts, for some, the dew point temperature has also remained too high for them to work effectively.

Latest indications now show that the drought should break on January 2nd with an active frontal system pushing in from the Atlantic.

What forecasters are more excited about is that the Alps should lay under a large cyclonic trough for the best part of the start of January. If this happens, then many Alpine resorts can expect a large amount of the white stuff up until the 14th of January.

Along with the new snow, goes the risk of avalanches. Not just that, but after nearly two weeks of no snow, the current base (if you can call it that) has developed into angular coarse crystals. This form is notoriously bad for bonding, so if you are planning to head off-piste, then remember the transceivers.
