Snow Report 29 October 2015 - Europe & Japan

Greetings snow fans!

Happo One 26.10.15 - Happo FB page

We're still quite a way off from snow season openings - these typically occur in late November - but the weather is changing and as autumn begins to give way to winter there has been a bit of snow around to get us in the mood.

JAPAN

No snow yet however in Japan, unless you count the occasional dusting. Its getting colder though.

The coming week looks a bit wet and may only bring another dusting to the peaks rather than any significant snow.

FRANCE

Some good snowfalls last week, and a top-up yesterday have whitened all the peaks in the Northern Alps.

Cervinia 27.10.15 - Cervinia FB page

Les Deux Alpes is opening for a week until 1st November with skiing on the glacier.

The Grand Motte glacier at Tignes is also open with five trails available.

ITALY

Big snowfalls last week with more than 50cm in places, but the fine and mild weather has melted the snow below the very highest peaks and glaciers.

Cervinia reopened for weekend skiing on the upper slopes last weekend. A top-up of snow this week makes for great conditions for this time of they year.
