Light snow is forecast for most of this week in Austria. Once again bad Kleinkirchheim is expecting the most snow, with around 25cm expected to have fallen by Saturday 16th January. Most other resorts are expecting between 10cm and 20cm of snow. The freezing level should hover between 400m and 600m at Obertauern, well below the resort base level.
Similar weather is expected in the French Alps, although it is expected to be slightly sunnier.
Alpe d’Huez is expecting a cold and sunny week with the exception of Wednesday. On Wednesday 21cm of snow is expected to fall which should give a great powdery end to the week. The freezing level should be between 800m and 1000m all week.
Switzerland and Italy should have a snowy Wednesday and Thursday. Between 5cm and 20cm is forecast at all our featured resorts in Switzerland over these two days, but before and after then it should be sunny.
A freezing level between 600m and 900m can be expected all week at Zermatt, giving low temperatures all week.
Up in Scandinavia the cold weather has finally shifted and milder weather has moved in to take its place. Despite it being warmer, temperatures are not expected to rise above -5C at Lillehammer in Norway.
This will make the skiing much more pleasurable but also keep the snow in great condition.
Dry and sunny weather is expected across America this week.
Aspen in Colorado should be largely cold and sunny with light snow forecast for Wednesday night. This should total around 4cm but will help improve the piste conditions.
The rest of the resorts in Colorado are expecting the same generally sunny and cold weather.
California and Nevada, where the Tahoe resorts lie, should be fairly sunny and mild. A freezing level of up to 3300m at Heavenly could make the skiing feel quite
The milder weather shouldn’t have much of an impact on the snow base however as it is fairly deep there anyway.
The greatest snowfall in America is expected at Timberline in Oregon. The temperature will fluctuate slightly but the upper slopes should see around 20cm of snow fall by the end of this week.
Lower slopes could see rain at the beginning and end of the week, although Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be colder.
As usual, Whistler is expecting plenty of snow. Nearly 90cm is forecast to land on the upper slopes. This will please locals of Whistler, who are hosting the Winter Olympics next month.
It should be fairly cold too with heavy snow falling right down to village level most of the time.
Revelstoke and Kicking Horse are also expecting good amounts, with the rest receiving light snow every day this week.
