This Week's Snow Headlines - Snow in Alps cuts off a number of big name resorts for a time. - Scottish ski centres enjoy their best day for several years. - Big snow in Western Canada - Whistler clocks up 1.5m in 72 hours. - Huge snowfalls close ski slopes in Western Alps due to avalanche danger. - Japanese ski area hit by avalanche set off by volcanic eruption. - Europe’s (and the world’s) deepest base now 6.6m (22 feet) It has been another incredible week in the Alps with yet more huge snowfalls as January 2018 looks set to go down in the record books as one of the snowiest ever. All the snow has not been great news for skiers and boarders in some resorts, particularly in the Western Alps, as the avalanche danger has been so high they have been unable to open their slopes safely and in some cases access to resorts has been temporarily cut too. The snow finally stopped falling in most areas on Monday or Tuesday and the skies turned blue allowing those resorts to start re-opening their slopes and re-open road and rail access too. Zermatt was the last to re-open its over-land connection to the outside world, its rail link to neighbouring Tasch, at 5pm on Wednesday. Resorts quickly began posting pictures of spectacular snowfalls and happy skiers, whilst stressing that the avalanche danger remains high outside areas declared safe. Snow is expected to begin falling again late Thursday and in to Friday and intensify on Saturday, possibly causing more transfer day problems but, currently at least, falls are not expected to be as huge as in previous weeks, probably more in the 20-50cm total range. Elsewhere Scotland had an epic Saturday with the best conditions for several years, Scandinavia has had some good snowfall and In China and Japan there have been huge snowfalls too. Japan has even had a volcano erupt at one of its ski areas, although that isn’t strictly ‘weather’. Across the Atlantic there have been the first really big snowfalls since November in Western North America with Whistler reporting good falls in the past week, boosting its base to 2.7m, one of the deepest in the country. Conditions at ski areas in the Western US are looking increasingly good too. Read the full [J2Ski Snow Report, covering Austria, France, the US and worldwide]( online. In the Alpine Forecast Much more "normal" winter weather is on the cards for the next week. Snow is expected, mostly to the western Alps (northern French Alps, Swiss Alps and northern Italian Alps) but probably not in the quantities of the last couple of weeks. Generally clear and settled conditions will prevail otherwise, with temperatures a little above seasonal averages until the end of the month. AVALANCHE RISK Avalanche risk levels remain high over a wide area and this will continue for a while. As always, be careful to follow local advice if going off-piste; carry avalanche safety kit and do not ski alone.
