Morzine is now well into its spring pattern, with warmer afternoons in the village and a more varied mix of conditions across the wider Portes du Soleil. The lower slopes are showing signs of the season progressing, but there is still good skiing to be found higher up, especially if you plan your day carefully. The atmosphere is relaxed, with quieter pistes and plenty of sunshine.
Snow and Weather Summary
Snow depths are currently around 30 to 70 cm in resort, increasing to between 140 and 220 cm on the upper slopes, with the best coverage across Avoriaz and the higher cross border areas. There has been very little recent snowfall, with only light flurries at altitude that have not significantly changed the base.
Temperatures have been ranging from minus 5 to minus 1 degrees on the upper mountain, while the village has seen daytime highs between plus 7 and plus 14 degrees. The freezing level has generally been between 2500 and 3000 metres, dropping overnight which is helping to firm up the snow early in the day. Winds have remained mostly light, with occasional moderate gusts on exposed ridges.
Skiing conditions are best at higher elevations, particularly around Avoriaz where the snow remains more consistent. Early mornings offer firmer pistes across the area, with conditions softening quickly through the day. Lower runs back into Morzine are becoming softer and heavier by late morning and can be quite slushy in the afternoon.
