It’s a similar situation in Andorra and the French & Spanish Pyrenees with the chance of 5-10cm up high on Wednesday evening.

It will be much colder in Central and Eastern Europe with below freezing temperatures across much of the region and the chance of 5-10cm of new snow.

It will be a snowy start to the week at the Georgian and Turkish resorts with 10-15cm of new snow forecast. Gudauri, Georgia is expecting 40-45cm and Tetnuldi, Georgia could see 70-75cm.

Temperatures will hover around freezing in the Nordic Countries of Finland, Norway and Sweden with freeze thaw conditions and 5-10cm of snowfall on the highest peaks. Narvik, Norway continues to catch the storms with 60-65cm of new snow expected.

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.

Gudauri and Tetnuldi, Georgia are the best choices out East with snow forecast through to mid-April.

As has been the case for most of the Winter, Narvik is the go to destination up North.

Further afield a Spring trip to British Columbia, Canada and the Pacific Northwest resorts of Oregon and Washington are worth the travel time.
