Snow Forecast Summary - April 17th 2008

This is (probably) the penultimate snow report of the European ski season...

And still it snows... more powder days this week, above 2,000 metres, have added to the already considerable snowpacks to ensure excellent conditions to the very end of the season. In the Northern Alps, in particular, exceptional snow remains - with Chamonix now reporting depths of 6 metres and the Grand Massif claiming 4 metres, it's really not over yet.


The Week Ahead

There will be more snow at altitude in much of the Alpine region. Although rising temperatures toward the end of next week will bring Spring skiing to all but the highest slopes, snow depths are sufficient - in those ski resorts still open - to ensure that good skiing will be had for the next couple of weeks.

What are we going to do now? Keep Fit, Get Trained!

If you're in the UK, consider taking one of the Warren Smith Ski Academy's half-day training sessions at Snow Domes in Milton Keynes, Leeds, Manchester and Glasgow. For dates and availability click here.

If you can't make it to a Snow Dome, then we have the full range of Warren Smith Instruction DVDs and Handbooks available now... so you can visualize your way to better technique even when lounging by the pool...
