Snow for the Euros.

[Lostinthetrees]

both snow. they want to be preared for another '99

right scale continues the left and goes up to 900cm of snow

ouch!!!

[bad_roo]

Sometimes I really wish I wasn't colour blind.

[nhtele]

I just really want a good damn radar loop like we have back in the good ol' States (intellicast style). I'm fucking stuck up here in Zermatt and it is blowing hard up high (63kmh @ Klein)

All the damn snow is gonna either be scoured or windfucked.

They pretty much suck, but this is the best you're going to get (as far as I know):

ouch!!!

yes.
and as i explained further up: both scales are expected snow levels on the ground on that date, not new snow
so you can see the new snow when coverage gets thicker.


the bolam link on the other hand is new snow only. add up the 12h values to get storm totals.

btw, i watch the radar loop all day (not constantly!) and looked like chamonix thru the alpe vaudiose got the best part of the dump.

idris - anything open in cham yet?

[bad_roo]

Get out there with the measuring stick!

[Ripzalot]

Get out there with the measuring stick!

my measuring stick is 170cms long and about 26cms wide. i'll be doing a thorough analysis up at g3 tomorrow.

[subtle plague]

hmm nice week ahead. a bit warmer, but snow nearly everywhere. south and west should get te most. BOVEC has a big dump scheduled for tomorrow(in addition to their 100cm base at1500m) and a nice outlook for saturday.
does anyone know the opening dates ??

[bad_roo]

Alpe d'Huez.

You can normally tell when Snow Forecast are starting to get antsy about a longer range forecast as it starts to downgrade the precipitation totals every six hours. With this one the precip totals are constantly being upgraded as the picture becomes firmer.

[subtle plague]

the underlying model is very consistent this time.
the dump is pretty certain because it is triggered by larger scale weather patterns.

I'm trying to restrain myself.....

Game fucking on!!

Excuse me.

Burp.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and nothing is ever in stone),

dolomites and lombardy alps have been already puked well. Appenninis got more than one meter. Western alps (north and south) are dry. If this forecast is right, the next big thing will be ok for SW, but - still - NW will be dry

[KANUTTEN]

According to the St.Anton website, there is hardly any (natural) snow there now? Anyone have more insight about the snow situation in the north and north easternly alps?

[verbier61]

south side of central alps (madesimo, livigno....) are really OK for this part of the season. Also, there's an holiday next week for milan people (our patron is s. ambrogio so we don't work on december 7th in addition to december 8th) so the lift system in lombardy alps will be open all week.

Les Sept Laux reported 30cm of fresh last night.

sadly, it fell on dry rock, so that's all there is (at the moment).

[bad_roo]

Nice find. Looks interesting for Friday...

[Hicks]

Well, we got a nice 30 - 40 cm last weekend, so it's on HERE, bitches.

I hear ya...
Talked w/ someone from Verb and he said there is 1 measly lift open at this time. What the huh!
PDS Avoriaz is open for most of their pistes. Even PDS Les Gets (below Avoriaz) had 3 pistes open last weekend.

Gonna make a call up to the Hospice Gd-St-B to see if it is skinnable at this time. Planning on skinning up there next week (Weds) ...if this forecasted storm fills in the holes w/ 30 - 50cm's. You're welcome to join in.

well the northeasterly alps are really good (read:salzburg /east) north are crap. west of insbruck there is basically nothing.

Subtle, can you specify a bit?

Do you have firsthand experience of whats hot and whats not?

48 hours...

[subtle plague]

firsthand ? HAH ! i wish.....
no, just guys who skied there and snow measurements from the official avalanche guys http://www.lawine-steiermark.at/ (for example1.5+m in the northern mountain regions of the steiermark... ) the glaciers in austria are ok though hear.
here is a pic from the northern steiermark. at about 1200-1400m

edit: right link

[subtle plague]

remember the bovec!

"Veter se je zvečer obrnil v severovzhodnik.
V Julijskih Alpah je na 1000 m do 100 cm snega, nad 1500 m pa od 130 do 150 cm."

edit: and here is a pic from austria this weekend: Kaunertalglacier.
