"Confidence is highest from Wednesday afternoon through Friday morning, when guidance is tightly clustered on widespread snowfall, a quick drop in snow levels, and enough wind for some exposed lift impacts."
"Much of the higher Alps should come away with 30 cm-60 cm, the northwestern Alps can do better with local totals near 80 cm-100 cm, and lower elevations should turn from a brief wet start to much better snow quality by Thursday."
"Snow levels start near 700-1,500 meters, highest in the warmer western and eastern valleys, then crash to around 0-400 meters by Thursday, so even lower bases should flip to snow fairly quickly."
"Friday afternoon through most of Sunday looks like the steadiest stretch of the forecast, with only minor leftover snow showers and lighter winds expected."
A well-organized storm will impact the Alps from Wednesday afternoon through Friday, delivering widespread snowfall. Higher elevations may receive 30 cm-60 cm, while the northwestern Alps could see 80 cm-100 cm. Snow levels will drop significantly, improving snow quality. Winds will be strong, with gusts of 50-80 km/h. Following the storm, a quieter weekend is expected with minor snow showers. Fresh snow will maintain quality at higher elevations, while lower slopes may experience daytime softening due to sun exposure.
