It is snowing heavily in the northwestern and northern Alps. Friday will be the best day with sunshine and fresh snow. The weekend will be quite difficult, because of the snow fall, wind and less visibility. The temperatures will rise after Sunday. You’ll notice that at first in France, but it will expand to the east. Check out these tips where to ride powder and open lifts this weekend. You will not find all the resorts that will have their lifts open, but these are my tips to ride powder. Do not forget to check the latest avalanche forecast.

There’s isn’t that much snow in Italy at the moment. There’s no use in driving to Italy if you like powder.
