More Heavy Early Autumn Snowfall in the Alps
More Heavy Early Autumn Snowfall in the Alps
Published : 04-Oct-2024 02:01
Ski areas in the Alps are reporting another round of heavy snowfall in the last 24 hours, with some reporting as much as 50cm of fresh snowfall in the past 24 hours.
It's the second significant snowfall on high slopes in the past three weeks, with smaller accumulations reported in between.
Although it's too soon to say this means winter 24-25 is going to be a snowy one, with the main season start still 10-12 weeks away, the cold and snowy conditions are raising anticipation levels and are very good news for the glacier centres that have already opened for their 24-25 seasons.
10 glacier ski areas are expected to be open in the Austrian, Italian and Swiss Alps this weekend, weather permitting, with the six centres open in Austria already noticeably trying to outdo each other in terms of open terrain and extra attractions like terrain parks, free new season gear testing and October-fest style apres ski parties.
