Snow Report, 7 December 2023
Could this be the best season start in years? It’s only the first week of December and early snow records are being broken. Tuesday this week we were treated to another 11cm of the fluffy white stuff. The conditions are amazing and alongside the huge amounts of snowfall, we’ve been treated to a good dose of sunshine too, on Sunday we enjoyed a wonderful bluebird day. What a great opening week of the season for Verbier.
So now we have a snow depth, at the top of around 105cm in Verbier. During the next few days we are forecast to receive around another 5cm of snow. You can expect light westerly winds and temperatures ranging from -1°C to -5°C. Up until the weekend the freezing level remains low at around 1300 - 1500 metres, however it is looking to become milder from Sunday with precipitation forecast and the freezing level rising up to around 2600 metres. But that’s still a few days away and could all change.
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. In general the avalanche risk is marked as considerable at ⅗.
On Saturday 9 December there is an opening session event, dress up as Santa Claus on the slopes and get your ski pass at 5chf but you must book this in advance online with the tourist office and access is via train from Geneva.
