Snow Report

Our ‘on the snow’ reporters have been enjoying great Spring conditions the first week of the Easter Holidays.

Passo Tonale Snow Report, Italy

It was an excellent end to the first week of the Easter Holidays at Passo Tonale in the Trentino region of Italy. Despite having no snowfall for over two weeks the piste bashing crew did an unbelievable job preparing the pistes each evening, with only a few patches showing through.

The conditions were firm in the morning turning to soft chopped up pistes and bumps in the afternoon. In between there was a layer of ‘velvet’ on the groomed surfaces which offered up smooth GS turns top to bottom.

Post-lunch we headed up the Paradiso and Presena lifts to the top of Presena Glacier at 3,000m where we enjoyed dry, chalky snow on piste and spectacular views.

Here’s Dani skiing the Cadi Carosello black run just before lunch last Friday.

Where To Ski

There will be very good Spring skiing across the Alps but head to north facing slopes above 2,500m for the best conditions.

Val D’Isere, France; the Aosta Valley, Monterosa resorts and San Domenico, Italy; and Aletsch Arena, Saas Fee, and Zermatt, Switzerland are your best bets for Western European powder.

Gudauri, Georgia is still the best choice out East.

Narvik, Norway has been joined by Akureyri, Iceland and Riksgransen, Sweden as the go to destinations up North.

Further afield a Spring trip to Alyeska, Alaska, USA is still worth the travel time.
