We finally had a proper snowfall in the Alps. The amount of snow the Alps received over the weekend exceeded all expectations and allowed ski season opening in many ski resorts. The temperature dropped signifficantly across the board and allowed snow cannons to work at full capacity. This week we are going to see a lot of snow production as all destinations take advantage of low temperatures.
If you have been postponing your ski holiday booking because of poor snow, there are no more excuses. Even lower resorts offer reasonable skiing and will be 100% open within 10-14 days. Late January and February are going to be excellent time for skiing. Here’a a look at some popular ski resorts in Austria and Italy
AUSTRIA
Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang is more than 50% open. Current forecast expects 30 cm of fresh snow in the next 2 days and further moderate falls during the week. The resort should be 100% open within 3-5 days.



ITALY


These were just six popular ski resorts in the Alps. Dozens of skiing destinations small and large are opening more and more slopes these days. France and Switzerland are looking very good. The skiing time in the Alps just started and late January and February skiing looks promising.
