Snow report   Whistler expecting heavy snow

There should be intermittent snowfall in Europe this week. Most of the French resorts we report on are expecting between 30cm and 40cm of fresh snow but a few are expecting more than that. Alpe d’Huez should receive around 44cm this week, with most of this falling on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday should be quite cold too, with the temperature not rising above -9C on Wednesday 31st March.

Zermatt in Switzerland should receive 56cm this week, with the heaviest snowfall expected on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday should be cold as well, with a temperature no more than -12C.

It’s going to be a snowy week in most of Scandinavia as well. Geilo in Norway should receive 45cm of snow between Tuesday 30th March and Tuesday 6th April.

It should be cold as well, with night time temperature of -18C so the snow should be in excellent condition.

Another snowstorm is expected in the Tahoe region on Tuesday 30th March. The freezing level should drop down to 1100m which is well below the base of Heavenly.

This should make for some great skiing during the week, especially with the 45cm of fresh snow forecast.

Unfortunately the weather on the east coast is much more akin to summer than winter. Heavy rain is expected at Sugarbush on Tuesday 30th March. Sunny weather with temperatures of 21C is expected from Wednesday onwards. This is likely to obliterate their remaining snow.

The same is the case at Attitash Bear Peak and the mild weather is forecast for their closing weekend.

Contrary to the warm weather in the east, western Canada is expecting to get colder and snowier. Kicking Horse is expecting 53cm of fresh snow this week and the temperatures should drop to -8C during the day.

Whistler is expecting heavy snow all this week and the colder weather means a lot of snow should fall, right down to base level. The upper slopes are expecting nearly a metre and a half of fresh snow.
