It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like… Winter | Snow Report

More and more resorts are opening across the Northern Hemisphere as fantastic ‘Snowvember’ conditions continue.

Plus, the resorts which have opened continue to open up more and more terrain.

There are now 34 resorts open in Europe and 25 resorts open in N America.

Unfortunately for the second successive week bad weather (snow and high winds) forced the cancellation of the Matterhorn Cervino Speed Opening World Cup Downhill races between Zermatt in Switzerland and Cervinia in Italy.

But it was all systems go in Gurgl, Austria with GB’s Dave Ryding missing out on a podium finish by the narrowest of margins — 0.01 seconds — finishing fourth in the men’s World Cup Slalom. The race was won by Manuel Feller on home soil.

This coming weekend the women travel to Killington, Vermont (USA) for the Slalom and Giant Slalom races at the Stifel Killington Cup.

We’ll be posting twice weekly snow reports on Mondays and Thursdays throughout the 2023/24 winter season so bookmark us, or, better yet, subscribe to get the latest snow news and our tips for where the snow will be.

If you’re out in resort drop us a line via our social media channels to share your ‘on the snow’ experiences and photos.
