SNOW & WEATHER

Winter has kicked in across Europe. Alps: cold pattern holding; 30cm+ coming for Tarentaise, more systems lining up. Italy: Dolomites could see up to 70cm. Austria: Looking strongest — around 50cm widely forecast. Switzerland: Northern regions pushing towards 1 metre. North America: Mixed; good snow in Western Canada & California; Colorado & Utah awaiting bigger storms. Japan: Niseko picking up early snow (15cm) with colder temps incoming. Scandinavia: Turning white; -10°C and snowmaking in Hafjell. UK: Weardale Ski Club has already opened a lift — “combative conditions” but great early start. More updates at InTheSnow.com.
