Half A Metre (20”) of Fresh Snow and Sunshine in the Alps this Weekend

The series of storm in the Alps over the past few days are beginning to clear leaving a largely cold and sunny weekend ahead.

A number of already open glaciers including Hintertux, Kitzsteinhorn and Stubai (pictured top) have all reported around 50cm/20 inch storm totals so it is looking like the best weekend of the autumn so far is ahead of us for those lucky boarders and skiers able to get to a glacier.

There are around 20 ski areas already open for the 21-22 season in the Alps including Andermatt, Engelberg, Les 2 Alpes, Saas Fee, Solden, Tignes and Zermatt.

Ski areas opening for the season this weekend include Davos, Glacier 3000 and Laax with Cervinia (below on Monday), already open to access the glacier slopes above Zermatt, opening terrain on its side of the border for the first time, with three lifts running.
