It’s beginning to look and feel a lot like winter out here in Verbier. Snow capped peaks once again dominate our winter landscape and it’s really cold. Here we are at the start of a new ski season, who’s excited? We've been enjoying partial pre-season opening since mid-November due to great early snowfall. We are excited to bring you an up to date snow report every week throughout the season
Verbier opens fully on 7 December for another winter season and you will see Santa in many guises out on the slopes!
Tonight through to Sunday we are expecting a good snowfall of around 23cm, the heaviest to be on Saturday afternoon. The early part of this week was extremely cold and although it has warmed up a little for Thursday and Friday, we will see the temperature plummet by Friday night and it will be down to -11°C by Saturday night.
The freezing level earlier this week was down to around 1000m and is hovering around 1250-1500m for the end of the week. This will drop down to around 850m at the weekend, with fresh westerly to north westerly winds on Saturday, turnoing more northerly and getting lighter into Sunday. The good news is that it looks like it will be staying really cold with a low freezing level for the next few days, hard to predict after that.
Although the snow coverage is looking good, be aware that as this is early season and the off-piste areas will not have been skied much yet, so not well compacted and there is likely to be thin coverage in many places.
The first planned event for the season is the official opening session for the official full resort opening weekend on Saturday 7 December.
