The big news in Europe is the snow and cold weather forecast for the weekend

It’s been another mild week in Europe. Kaprun in Austria was scheduled to reopen this weekend but they have postponed this until the end of September. The big news in Europe is the snow and cold weather forecast for the weekend. Austria and eastern parts of Italy are expected to benefit the most.

Plenty of good snow can be found in Australia. Spring has definitely arrived but their piste preparation is excellent and if you love skiing groomed runs, head to Australia.

Head to New Zealand for the best snow in the world at the moment. It’s been a snowy week and low temperatures mean ski areas are enjoying conditions more akin to mid winter than mid spring. Turoa, on the North Island, has a base depth of more than three metres.

It’s turned very warm in South America which is having an effect on the snow conditions. However, it is the middle of spring so this is to be expected. Pockets of powder can still be found at Valle Nevado but at other resorts you can enjoy the spring snow and sunny skies.
