Snow Report 23/11/22

It’s really beginning to feel a lot like winter out here in Verbier. Snow capped peaks once again adorn our winter landscape. It’s getting so close to the start of a new ski season now, who’s excited?

After a good snowfall last weekend of around 16cm and a top snow depth now of 40cm, we are looking forward to light snowfalls in the coming week and it’s pretty cold out there now. The freeze thaw conditions for the next week range from a maximum of 2°C to a minimum of -9°C. Currently it is looking like more snow is forecast tonight, Thursday and Friday night and then from Monday and will continue for a few days. This will all help to consolidate a good base and whilst we can’t see a really huge dump of snow in the coming week, we can see regular light snowfall. (EDIT 28/Nov/22 the forecast has changed and there is not very much snow forecast at all for the coming week now. While the snow in Verbier looks really good take care out there as the current snow depths may create a hazard, so you need to know where the deeper snow is.) It's still early days and not science based but normally good dumps of snow in early December have afforded plentiful skiing right from the opening dates. So get your ski gear out and those skis waxed and ready to go. Verbier is opening on the 3rd December, however some areas are open for weekends during November. The first planned event for the season the Polaris Festival was last weekend, the 25th - 27th November and was enjoyed by all.
