We did get the good dump of snow last weekend and it stayed really cold here in Morzine, with sunny days! This means that the snow cannons can all run on the lower slopes to help build up the base that we have.
Les Gets has announced pre-opening this weekend 13/14 December in the Chavannes sector. Both Morzine and Les Gets open for the season on 21 December.
The next few days look changeable with a high pressure coming in from the West and the UK and air pressure rising up to Friday. This means more sunshine, very light winds and freezing temperatures at around 1500m.
Friday sees a weak low pressure so it will become cloudy and there is light snow showing in the forecast over the weekend, maybe as much as 8-10cm in some parts of the French Alps. Some of the snow could reach us by Friday night. Snowfall is possible on Sunday and the freezing temperature will drop to around 800m, before the new high pressure comes in.
However the new high pressure is stronger and will bring warmer temperatures by Tuesday which will stay for a few days. Temperatures will be mild, getting up to as high as 8 - 10°C at 1200-1500m.
By next weekend as the high moves away, the temperatures will drop right down again and light snow looks possible. Looking ahead, which is always hard to predict, but it looks like Santa may be bringing the Christmas gift of a much bigger snowfall from 23 December for a few days!
We hope you all enjoy a great holiday time in Morzine and the new snow that was predicted has arrived and that it's still snowing now. Like you, we're taking a little holiday breather for a couple of weeks from our usual snow updates and predictions... We’ll be back with our first snow report of the New Year on 3rd January and hoping that all of our new year wishes come true with mountains full of powder and bluebird days ahead.
If you’re an off-piste skier, make sure to always check the latest avalanche warnings as it’s still early season and although snow coverage looks good it could be thin in places and not yet compacted. (Scroll down the page to see today’s avalanche rating). Stay safe when off-piste, read our guide to avalanche safety.
