You will hit the sweet spot!! powderalert#18 is coming! -
Advancedkonrade op 31 January 2013 路 10:23sound really good 馃槂 Any props where to go for a quick, one day shot this weekend from Munich? Probably Sunday will be a better choice, but still I haven't decided which place would be the best option.... any thoughts Morris? 馃槂 -
Touristmeteomorris op 1 February 2013 路 21:43@Konrade, any resort with trees will be good this weekend!
-
ExpertLuca op 4 February 2013 路 12:26@Morris, i've read that you'll be in the western alps by Tuesday, have you already decided where? -
Touristmeteomorris op 6 February 2013 路 18:31@Luca, today I was in Valfrejus (France). Great day in the trees!
-
ExpertLuca op 7 February 2013 路 08:15it may be possible that tomorrow it will be sunny in courmayeur or chamonix? or at least not too cloudy....
-
AdvancedAndersBj op 25 February 2013 路 11:35@Morris, looking at the upcoming PA's, the best parts are in the south for the upcoming days. After that stability? or chanses for more storms coming in? our destination is open, from Zurich airport by car. Should we head for high altitude og forest areas? and will south alps still be the area of choice? -
Touristmeteomorris op 26 February 2013 路 13:42@AndersBj, correct. There is a lot of fresh snow in the Southern Alps. This weekend will be dry and sunny. Warmer air is expected to move in on Sunday.
Next week will be warmer due to a southwestern flow. Excpect zero=levels to go up and fresh snow as of Tuesday/Wednesday in the Piemonte.
Aim for North Faces on Sunday till Tuesday and forrest on Wednesday-Thursday. You can skip the resorts that are to low.
Cheers! -
Beginnerlynsey op 26 February 2013 路 14:11hey Morris, any suggestions where to go from Munich this weekend, Piemonte is a really long drive...
Cheers! -
Touristmeteomorris op 26 February 2013 路 15:16@Lynsey, You might consider the resorts in the Southern Alps East: http://wepowder.com/playgrounds/region/9
They had 30-120 cm of freshies since friday. Especially Carinthia and the pre-alps of the Dolomites will het another 20-40 cm of freshies between today and wednesday. From Thursday on it will be sunny and temperatures will go up.
Cheers! -
AdvancedAndersBj op 26 February 2013 路 15:25"@Morris Will st Moritz/engadin be "south enough"? What about zermatt area? Or is aosta/monterosa the drug of choice? It's all abt drive here too as with @Lyndsey
-
Beginnerlynsey op 26 February 2013 路 15:57Thanks Morris, should have said going for a week, does that change things?
-
Touristmeteomorris op 26 February 2013 路 16:03@AndersBj, Zermatt only got 5-20 cm. Same is with St. Moritz. Aosta valley only picked up 5-20 cm. St. Moritz is about the same. Mt. Rosa will be good, but look for the North faces (which they don't have that much). If conditions are stable you might consider hiring a guide + helicopter and go for the Marinelli couloir on Sunday/Monday.
As of Wednesday you should probably head to the western Piemonte or the Southern French Alps. Although the exact details might shift the coming days. I will keep you posted! -
AdvancedAndersBj op 28 February 2013 路 00:48Thanks a lot! Keep us posted, very good blogposts last couple of days. Keep up the gods!
-
Touristmeteomorris op 28 February 2013 路 14:22@AndersBj thank you! Enjoy the search!
-
AdvancedAndersBj op 2 March 2013 路 17:42Decided to search @ alagna and courmayeur first days. Tips? Then southwest like crissolo or around from tuesday. Keep us posted abt weather changes @morris! It's gold for us...馃槂

AdvancedAnders op 2 March 2013 路 18:55Hi, we fly into Geneva on thursday, do you think Sestriere will be a good choice? Thanks. -

-
Touristmeteomorris op 5 March 2013 路 11:02@AndersBj, I would suggest Milky Way. Especially Sestriere will be good. Nice treeruns between Monte Motta and Pragelato. Make sure to arrive there this evening and enjoy the powder on Wednesday morning. Forecast update will be live within a few hours.

Touristmeteomorris op 5 March 2013 路 13:00and a new forecast: http://wepowder.com/weblog/4274/Powderalert%2323-is-ON-as-of-Wednesday...

AdvancedAndersBj op 5 March 2013 路 19:37BIG thx @meteomorris! Ready in sestriere! Going for first chair tomorrow morning. Abit windy here but snow is coming!

Touristmeteomorris op 6 March 2013 路 07:41[mention="/profile/8611"]@AndersBj[/mention], front is moving in, but is a little delayed. It will be snowing all day today.

AdvancedSvenPrzetak op 6 March 2013 路 17:10Hi Morris,
I'll do some Catskiing in Popova Shapka (Macedonia) from 18th to 23rd of March. Here is the link to the trip: http://www.goheliski.at/?id=60
What do you think about the snow or is it too early for a forecast?
Cheers from Cologne
Sven -
Touristmeteomorris op 6 March 2013 路 22:01@SvenPrzetak that's a bit early, but I will have a look at it and will mention it in my forecast the next week.
Cheers -
AdvancedAndersBj op 7 March 2013 路 13:34Nice powder @sestriere these days, up to 40-50 some places. Fantastic treeruns! Warming up now. Any better place tomorrow? Higher altitude with good snowfall?
-
Touristmeteomorris op 7 March 2013 路 15:25@AndersBj, it looks like the French side will get some decent powder tomorrow. Wind is turning southwest and snowlevels are about to drop towards 1600 meters. So the French side will get more powder. You might have a look at Serre Che, Puy St. Vincent or Vars/Risoul. Nice treeruns overthere.
And guess who is also roadtrippin' in the same region as you are now? http://instagram.com/p/WjwyLeC6Gw/ -
AdvancedAndreasPieber op 7 March 2013 路 19:03Any other ideas for the Weekend? Piemont is a too Long Drive for me... :/ what about Sölden, St. Moritz? I can drive up to 4h from vorarlberg.... or should i wait for the next week?
-
Touristmeteomorris op 8 March 2013 路 11:54@AndreasPieber, Solden/HochGurgl might get some snow from Saturday to Sunday. Looks like they will pick up 15-30 cm.
