Deer Valley Resort, Utah, posted this great view today...

Big snowfalls for much of the northern hemisphere, bringing much-needed snow for
the USA, and piling it up high in the Alps.

The Snow Headlines - January 11th
- Biggest snowfalls of season reported across North America, improving poor
cover to date.
- Low temperatures and more snowfall in Alps pushes more resorts past 3m/10 feet
bases.
- Portugal's season gets underway after cold weather finally reaches SW Europe.
- 3 Valleys post more than 550km of slopes open, Portes du Soleil 530km.
- Scottish centres open slopes beyond the beginner areas.
- Les Arcs and Flaine reach 4 metre base depths up top.


More snow forecast for many European and American ski areas

World Overview
There have been some good snowfalls on slopes in Europe and North America over
the past week. We've also seen a drop in temperature in the Alps and the Rockies
and many other mountain ranges of Europe and North America. So, it's good news
all around, but with different benefits to different areas.

In North America the situation was fairly dire in about 80% of the continent's
ski areas from coast to coast with the snowpack less than half its normal level
for early January and less than half of the continent's runs open; so the new
snowfall is really welcome, allowing more terrain to open and bringing powder to
slopes that had seen precious little.

In Europe, it is a similar story in the Pyrenees, but the Alps already had
above-average snow levels so the new snow has simply improved an already
positive picture and the colder temperatures brought snow down to the valley
floors again.

Europe
Austria
A much better January 2024 than January 2023 in Austria with low temperatures
and fresh snowfall on what was already a pretty good position through the
Xmas/New Year holidays when the vast majority of the country's ski areas were
70-90% open.

This new snow – with many areas posting up to a foot in 24 hours over multiple
days - has arrived along with colder temperatures, meaning conditions are the
best they've been all winter.

A number of resorts including St Anton and the Stubai Glacier are reporting snow
lying more than 10 feet (3 m) deep up high.

Five areas have more than 200km of slopes open and although Kitzbuhel is only
posting 188km – that's 100% of their terrain.

France
The French Alps have seen the biggest snowfalls in the world over the last seven
days with several resorts posting 70-90cm accumulations.

Conditions for early January continue to be among the best they've been for many
years with the snow lying up to four metres deep on upper slopes, more than 80%
of the country's runs open and snowfall down to the lower valley floors over the
past week, improving things at ski areas that hadn't had so much snow down low
like Morzine and Megeve.

Even the French Pyrenees, which has had much less snowfall than the Alps to
date, saw significant falls this week.

The 3 Valleys are now over 90% open, the most in the world, and the Chamonix
Valley has the deepest snowbase in the world at 380cm up top at Grands Montets.

Italy
Southern and Eastern Italian ski areas have had a rather
warmer-and-drier-than-they'd-like start to the season, but temperatures have
been dropping and last weekend saw some decent dumps in the Dolomites as well as
in other parts of the country which hadn't needed them so badly.

Despite reduced natural snow, most centres in the Dolomites still had most of
their runs open thanks to expert slope maintenance, but now resorts like Cortina
d'Ampezzo which had been posting a 30cm base (but 80% of its slopes open) have
doubled that and are reporting powder now.

It has turned sunny again in most areas since the weekend falls but temperatures
have remained low, keeping the fresh snowfall, well, fresh.

Switzerland
Swiss slopes have, like the rest of the Alps, enjoyed a week with lower
temperatures and plenty of fresh snowfall.

In fact, the country is leading Europe (and the world) in terms of the
percentage of its runs open – more than 80%. Some areas have more open than
others with the biggest, the 4 Valleys around Verbier, approaching 100% open –
they've made it up to 98% of their 400km+.

Of the big regions, the Portes du Soleil (that includes terrain over the French
border) has struggled the most this season due to lower elevation slopes, but
there's been an improvement here too with 90% (more than 530km) of slopes open
thanks to the recent cold and snow to low altitudes.

Scandinavia
Scandinavian ski areas have continued to report some very cold temperatures –
touching -30C – over the past week, leading many to close some or all of their
runs and particularly aerial lifts, for fear a mechanical failure could leave
skiers dangling in such very low temperatures.

Away from the slight cold issue, conditions are generally very good across the
region with most centres 80-100% open and those low temps keeping the snow in
pristine condition. The deepest, as usual, is in Western Norway, now up to about
5 feet lying near coastal Voss.

Pyrenees
The Pyrenees looked like they were on course for a decent dump of snowfall at
the weekend but unfortunately, the Andorran and Spanish centres initially only
got a few centimetres (although some later reported 30cm snowfalls) whereas on
the French side, up to 60cm accumulations were reported and a much bigger
improvement on the (fairly dire) conditions that had dominated there.

So it is that the Grand Tourmalet region of La Mongie/ Barèges is the only area
in the region reporting 100% of its slopes open – 100km of runs – putting it
ahead of the huge Andorran Grandvalira region which has only about 80km – a
third of its area, still.

Spain's Baqueiura Beret just has the most with 106km of slopes – about 65% of
its area.

Scotland
Scottish centres continue to try to open terrain beyond their beginner slopes
which are maintained by all-weather snowmaking systems.

Fairly cold weather has helped with that and Glencoe reports good ski-touring
conditions to the summit above its (still closed) inbounds terrain, which can be
reached with its access chairlift.

Cairngorm has its M1 Poma serving M1 and White Lady pistes if you hike up and
Glenshee has some extra terrain open too.

Eastern Europe
A mixed picture across Eastern Europe, although with great conditions for most
resorts and more fresh snow this week.

The lesser-known ski areas in Croatia and Albania have been posting pictures of
deep snow cover and it is looking good for Slovenia as well as further north in
the Czech and Slovak Republics.

In the latter, Jasna now has 100% of its runs open.

Bulgaria has had some snowfall and is reporting colder temperatures but most
areas, including Bansko, still have less than 50% of their slopes open. Only
Borovets is posting over 80% of runs open there.

North America
Canada
Conditions have improved in Canada this week with up to half a metre of snowfall
reported on ski slopes across the west of the country for the start of this
week, and snow in the equally-hard-hit East as well.

There has been more light snowfall and some very low temperatures, in the -5C to
-25C range, through this week and that's set to continue into next.

Whistler Blackcomb is one of the big winners from the new snow, now having 80%
of its slopes open and the most skiable terrain actually available to ski in
North America once again, having previously had less than half its runs open.

There's still some catching up to do from the poor position prior to these
snowfalls, but things are moving in the right direction now.

USA
Some much-needed improvements in the US thanks to more consistently cold
temperatures and snowfalls across the country.

Some resorts in California and Colorado have reported up to two feet of snowfall
on high slopes.

These have moved things in the right direction although fewer than two-thirds of
ski area slopes are open.

There was snowfall in the East too, and it is staying cold and snowy into next
week.

The country's biggest ski area, Park City in Utah, still doesn't have quite so
much terrain open as Vail, to the south (which of course owns Park City). Vail
now has more than 80% of its runs open, one of the highest percentages in the
US, while Park City is nearer the average 60% of theirs.
