Update: not all is lost.
Austria can still get decent snow. West of the arlberg is debateable.
East of Salzburg could actually be interesting.

Last ecmwf keeps some hope also for the central alps for next Wednesday… or am I wrong?

It is changing every single forecast. Verbier is fluctuating between 30cm+ and nothing at the moment. Given that I am hosting a quasi corporate retreat up there, I would bank on powder mornings Thursday and Friday.
Coming into Davos mid-next week.
I'm happy to drink beers on sunny decks, but I hope for your guyses ski season, glacier health, and water availability that a big storm materializes!
Safe bet is eastern Austria. range is decent to mega dump.
Davos/arlberg ( maybe even central swiss) are still 50:50 for decent snow or dusting.
Verbier is pretty certain in the dusting to nothing range.
First wave until Tuesday is eastern Austria only. 30-50cm. West 0-25cm
Wed-sat is still uncertain.
Range:
50-100+ in the east.
20-80 arlberg etc.
0-40cm West.
Ensembles
And the Models usually underestimate the east because of lower Model Topography.
So while 50mm titlis usually mean 50-70cm snow, the east gets 1,5-2m
Out of 100mm

Things are starting to look better for eastern/ cebtralSwitzerland. The Main Runs all agrees for some decent precip.
The first wave on Tuesday doesn't really exist anymore except in eastern Austria. Let's hope that doesn't happen to the Main wave as well.
Eastern Austria ist on track for something impressive.
Still huge range between 10cm and 1.2m in Switzerland though.
Valais and france are pretty much fucked.
East ist on track for 70cm to 2m+
If I have jinxed it, pm rontele.
Why is the forecast so variable atm? Isn't January more easy to predict?
It's always very complicated more than 5 days out. Especially with precip.
This time it's because of the high pressure System. The flow is always north/ northwest in the Models, but depending on the Position it's dry or wet . That's what happened Tuesday. The high moved further east...ni snow in the west.

Fluela is ugly, but at least there’s sunshine.
@subtle plague, how far east we talking in Österreich? East innsbruck or as far as Salzburg east? I'll be in the zillertal hoping for the clouds to spunk all over me

50cm for gerlos. According to bergfex.
That looks nice....

yep hochfügen/kaltenbach usually gets a bit more if history is to repeat itself, but I'll take 50

East Shifts and West Shifts have technically the same possibility? Or isn’t it so?

Saturday, central Switzerland.
Finally made it above the fog at 2200m.
Nice views, but quite cold!

Times flies.... not sure why it took that long for another post.
Keeping busy with work, family and dog.
Just to demonstrate how fast time goes by:

Praying for more snow.
Up high good turns were in order this past weekend, but below 1500m the base is still very thin.
As i feared: Swiss is getting downgraded. 10-50cm range until sat.
Arlberg has a 10-100cm range. East ist still in the 70-150 range.
And: nice pics. No snow. Hausstock looks terrible. In ordinary winters it always looks inviting.
