SnowBrains Forecast: 20 cm for the Alps This Week Ahead of Massive Storm Cycle - SnowBrains
"Fresh snow arrives across the western Alps tonight and continues into Friday, then a much stormier pattern takes over from Tuesday into next weekend. Snow levels through the first wave hover around 1,200 to 1,500 meters, so upper mountain terrain stays all snow while the lowest villages can see mixed precipitation. Snow quality with this first system looks mostly moderate, with SLRs commonly in the 10-14:1 range and pockets of lighter snow in higher terrain."
"Thu night (02/05) - Fri (02/06) brings the most reliable near-term refresh to the French Alps, western Switzerland, and the Italian border peaks. Snow levels generally run 1,150 to 1,450 meters, which favors resorts with mid and upper elevations above 1,500 meters, while lower bases like Wengen's 944 meters and Kitzbühel's 809 meters sit well below the snow line. SLRs sit mostly around 10-14:1, so expect denser powder, with a few higher-altitude locations closer to 14-16:1 for a lighter feel."
Fresh snow will arrive across the western Alps tonight into Friday, with snow levels around 1,200–1,500 meters keeping upper mountain terrain all-snow and lower villages seeing mixed precipitation. The first system yields mostly moderate snow quality with SLRs commonly 10–14:1 and lighter pockets at high elevations. Thu night–Fri brings reliable refresh to the French Alps, western Switzerland, and Italian border peaks with snow levels 1,150–1,450 meters favoring resorts above 1,500 meters. A quieter weekend precedes multiple waves from Tue (02/10)–Sun (02/15); colder air later in the week should improve SLRs while winds increase and model disagreement keeps totals uncertain.
