Snow Overview - Austria (snow news updated 22-Feb-2012)
Recent heavy snowfall means conditions at our featured Austrian resorts are fantastic. On Monday 20th February, snow continued to fall over many Austrian resorts. The Stubai Glacier at
Neustift (75/340cm) enjoyed 25cm of fresh snowfall, however visibility was rather limited.
Light snowfall was the dominant theme across many areas where resorts typically received around 5cm on Monday. Such resorts included the Ski Welt area of Ellmau (100/280cm), Soll (100/280cm) and Scheffau (100/280cm).
The skies are forecast to clear on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd February, until precipitation is set to make a come back on Thursday 23rd February. However, temperatures are rising throughout the week, so lower altitude Austrian resorts could unfortunately experience rain rather that snowfall later this week.
European Weather Outlook
It should, on the whole, be a lovely week of clear blue skies providing excellent visibility and pleasant skiing for France and Italy.
A similar weather theme is expected for Austria and Switzerland. However on Thursday 23rd February cloudy skies are expected to return over the vast majority of resorts in these countries, and the clouds could bring scattered snow flurries. Unfortunately a handful of Austrian resorts could experience rain as temperatures are expected rise into positive digits for the first time in weeks.
