LIVE: 119 cm of freshies in 24 hours!

Check out the current conditions in the Alps in this blog. We'll try to update the blog multiple times a day and feel free to post your observations or interesting stuff in the comments!

200 cm in just 48 hours

The 'Donin du Jour' measure point reports 119 centimeters of freshies in just 24 hours and 200 cm in 48 hours! The snowcover got about one meter thicker (snow settles because of its mass, temperature, wind and this pushes the air out of the snow).

The Donin du Jour measure point is situated at an alitude of 2390 meters just north of the ski resort of Anzère. It's a resort that's defined as 'powder magnet' and this means that our maps always have a bit of trouble determining the right amount of snow. According to our weather maps around 68 centimeter should have come down the last couple of days, but it's more than three times that amount! It's knowledge about such micro climates that can be the difference between a deep and a super deep day. You can expect even more snowfall in this region from Thursday.

Crans-Montana is drowning

Crans-Montana (just east of Anzère) is literally drowning in snow.

Weather alarm in the west of Switzerland

There's still an active weather alarm in the west of Switzerland. Another 60-80 centimeters of freshies is expected the next couple of hours.

Col des Montets closed

You can't reach Vallorcine from France anymore. And you can't reach Chamonix anymore from Switzerland. The Col des Montets is closed because of avalanche danger.
