Snow Overview - Austria  (snow news updated 22-May-2012)

The snow has not yet stopped falling in Austria. Stubai (350cm) reported 60cm of new snowfall on 17th May, and although this may be the greatest amount reported at our featured and open Austrian resorts, the others have not missed out. For example, Kaprun (270cm) reported 20cm of new snow landing over Wednesday 16th May, providing powder riding conditions on Thursday. All of the ski slopes on the Dachstein Glacier (510cm) were closed on Thursday but fresh snow has fallen, improving the already great snow cover. The weather at the end of this week is forecast to be predominantly sunny for the open Austrian skiing destinations, but clouds should move in for the start of next week bringing wet weather to lower areas. However, this could result in further fresh snowfall up on the glacier slopes.

European Weather Outlook

Unfortunately it is set to be a wet and rainy week for the majority of European resorts. The good news is that snow may fall at a handful of higher altitude resorts in France, Italy and Switzerland. For instance, Chamonix and Nendaz could enjoy 11cm on Wednesday 2nd May.
