Snow conditions France - mainly dry this week with possible snow in the Haute-Savoie resorts later in the week (that's pds, grand massif, Elaine la clusaz etc) Austria - The southern Austrian alps remained fairly dry earlier on this week but cloud gathered further north and snow was seen down to 700 m levels which is fantastic and later this week that Snow can expect to build up to 60 cm as low at 700 m, so it's the northern part of Austria that's getting the share of the snow right now the southern part  will probably not see hardly any Italy - a slightly drier week but still cold and sunny it's freezing levels at around 1500 m cloud will increase in the eastern Italian out the Dolomites later this week to by the time this podcast is out with some flurries of snow possible mid to later this week.  Those flurries could continue later this week and into the borders of Austria but this is just the eastern part of the Italian Dolomites and it's likely that the rest of the Italian ski resorts will remain cold clear skies with very little extra snow this week. Switzerland - a similar story with plenty of sunshine although clouds will increase in the north and north-east later this week with some possible flurries of snow in resorts to the east of Zürich down to 600 m with flurries of snow turning heavier later in the week also mainly in the north-east e.g. Klosters possibly into Engelberg, Laax, possibly spreading Northwest to the likes of Gstaad, Wengen but resorts like Zermatt, St Moritz will see little, if any, snow.  French lift strikes – should we be concerned?  Basically no Michaela Shiffrin closes in on all time record International Ski Patrollers day Looking ahead to the Alpine World Championships in Meribel and Courchevel Industry ski test takes place plus consumer one next GEAR The Welcome 3l Jacket Picture Organic Clothing Black Diamond Impulse Gloves Aphex Goggles Solo stove fire pit Coros watches Leki, Airfoil 3D pole Resort Spotlight Engelberg Ellmau Big Sky In the meantime Happy Skiing :) And don't forget to check us out on the following channels inthesnow.com youtube.com/inthesnowmag facebook.com/inthesnow instagram.com/inthesnow and contact us with your suggestions for further episodes at [email protected]
