Snow Overview - Austria (snow news updated 31-Jan-2012)
A handful of resorts welcomed further snowfall on Saturday 28th January, such as Ischgl (100/220cm) although what did fall was a mere sprinkling. On Monday 30th January, there was more sunshine across our featured Austrian resort than expected. For example, Hintertux (130/290cm) enjoyed a lovely bluebird day with all but one lift in operation. However, in the SkiWelt area, resorts such as Ellmau (90/270cm) experienced low cloud which brought poor visibility.
Monday also brought lower than usual temperatures to our featured Austrian resorts, which was great news as this meant excellent piste conditions were sustained. For instance, high resorts such as Obergurgl (90/160cm) and Obertauern (255/315cm) reported a temperature of around -10C.
European Weather Outlook
Cloudy and snowy skies are expected to loiter over the vast majority of European resorts over the coming days although only a light level of snowfall, around 1-2cm each day, is anticipated throughout the week. Sunshine is then expected to make a come back for the vast majority of resorts by the end of this week or the start of next week.
The southern French Alpine resort of Isola 2000 however could receive up to 27cm of fresh snow on Tuesday 31st January, bucking the trend of just a dusting.
The other weather news of note is that temperatures are set to drop, getting below -20C in many locations by the end of this week, so make sure you have some nice warm layers to put on.
