A good amount of snow fell in Austria this week, which has improved the conditions at some of the summer skiing destinations.

Val d’Isere is scheduled to open for the summer ski season on Saturday 27th June, which will mean that all of our reported French summer skiing locations will have skiing available.

Cervinia in Italy is also planning on opening on the same day so all of our featured Italian summer destinations will also be open.

In Switzerland only Zermatt is currently open though but the snow base is more than four metres deep and the skiing is great for this time of year.

The first lift up to the ski area on the Horstman Glacier at Whistler has been brought forward to 11am so it is advisable to take advantage of this and ski before the snow becomes too heavy.

Light dustings of snow fell in Australia this week and further snow showers are expected over the weekend. However, these will not be sufficient to dramatically change the conditions.

More resorts are scheduled to open in New Zealand this weekend, adding an extra four open areas to the six that have already opened.

The ski season has now started in Chile with El Colorado and Valle Nevado in the Three Valleys offering a good amount of skiing. Portillo is also now open and 65% of the area was accessible on Thursday.

Skiing is also now possible in Argentina at Chapelco, and Cerro Catedral should open on Friday 26th June followed by Las Lenas on Saturday.
