The mild weather in Europe at the moment is forecast to continue for the rest of this week.
However, the general trend is for colder and snowier weather to move in by Monday next week. It won’t bring large amounts of snow but it will be welcomed by all the resorts.
In Austria, Hintertux is expecting the most of the snow when it arrives on Monday. 13cm alone should fall on Monday which will give a great boost to their skiing.
The freezing level will also drop from around 3600m on Saturday to 1400m on Tuesday.
Les Deux Alpes in France is also expecting light snow on Sunday and Monday, amounting to around 13cm over both days.
The snow should come coupled with a noticeable drop in temperatures, from 12C at base level on Friday to 0C by Tuesday.
Fluctuating temperatures are expected in Scandinavia this weekend. There should be lots of precipitation with it too and whether it falls as rain or snow will depend largely on altitude.
Hemsedal in Norway is expecting 22cm of snow to fall by the coming Tuesday.
Apart from Timberline in Oregon and Jackson Hole in Wyoming, it should be fairly dry across the whole of America.
78cm of snow is forecast to fall at Timberline, predominantly over Friday and Saturday when 55cm will land. The snow will bring lower temperatures with it but once the snow has passed away, warmer weather will follow.
Jackson Hole should see 31cm of snow fall by Tuesday next week. Sunday and Monday is when the snow should be heaviest, and it will come as a welcome relief before the resorts planned opening day.
You can expect temperatures of -16C at the summit of Jackson Hole over the weekend and a more modest -9C at the bottom.
No new snow is expected for resorts in Colorado over the weekend but it should remain cold. Nighttime temperatures in Vail will drop to around -15C, which is cold enough for the snow cannons to run.
The east coast of America remains unseasonably warm. Heavy rain is forecast for many of the resorts in that area, both on the upper and lower slopes.
They desperately need colder temperatures to be able to resume their snow making as their opening dates are fast approaching.
Plenty of snow continues to fall on the west coast of Canada. Whistler has received phenomenal amounts of snow already this season and the snowstorm is still going strong.
A further 211cm of snow is expected to fall on the upper slopes by next Tuesday, which should mean the resort breaks its record for the most amount of snow in November.
The record currently stands at 416cm, which was set in 2006 and they are currently on 362cm so far this month.
