This Week's Snow Headlines - Up to 1.2m (4 feet) of snowfall in 4 hours on Monday-Tuesday in Western Italy. - Engelberg first ski area to report upper base more than 5m (515cm or 21 feet!). - All five Highland Scottish ski centres open. - Continuing record low temperatures in Eastern North America. - Fresh snow in Western US. It has been a week like no other in recent memory in the Alps after Storm Eleanor, a brief period of calm, and then some truly exceptional snowfall on the border area between France, Italy and Switzerland in the last few days. European skiers questioned if there could be such a thing as too much snow, as massive accumulations - accompanied by gales of up to 100mph at times, and occasional heavy rain - swept through the mountains. Many were advised to spend the latter half of last week indoors for their own safety at storm-bound ski resorts, particularly in the western Alps and at higher elevations. This brought the unwanted bonus of exceptionally high avalanche danger which led many ski areas in the Western Alps to close their slopes, at least on Wednesday and Thursday and in some cases through to the start of this week. Whilst the official risk level hit the maximum level 5 on the scale, resort workers commented that the danger was in fact off the scale and the French authorities declared a rare weather "Red Alert". Roads and slopes were either blocked by avalanches or closed due to the danger of avalanches and the danger level remains high - even though we appear to have entered a calmer period for the remainder of this week. There was fresh snow too in the Dolomites, Pyrenees and in Scandinavia whilst Scottish ski centres have managed to stay open since around Boxing Day thanks to consistently low temperatures and light winds. Across the Atlantic it remains exceptionally cold in the East and Midwest but there’s some relief at the arrival of some decent snowfalls after a mostly dry start to the western season. Read the full [J2Ski Snow Report, covering Austria, France, the US and worldwide]( online. In the Alpine Forecast Many resorts will be breathing a sigh of relief at the prospect of a pause in the snow and the forecast is for much clearer, settled weather for the next few days. So this coming weekend should see some fabulous conditions - but please see the warning below. As we move into next week, there will be more... snow! North and West Alps could see some (more) substantial snow around the middle of next week, with temperatures looking to run cold for the next couple of weeks. AVALANCHE RISK Avalanche risk levels remain very high over a wide area and this will continue for a while. Please be patient; exercise caution at all times and keep to the pistes until local authorities say it's safe. If going off-piste, carry avalanche safety kit (transceiver, shovel and probe) and do not ski alone.
