This week in Morzine you can really feel the shift towards winter. The air on the mountain mornings has that sharp edge that tells you snow is here to stay, and the higher slopes are clearly holding a good base of snow. People in the village are talking about how conditions have been building steadily since early December and how recent cold nights have helped firm up the pistes. There is a sense that this part of the season may finally deliver more consistent skiing.
Snow and Weather Summary
The latest reports indicate decent snow depths overall with around 120 cm of snow at higher elevations and about 37 cm down in the valley, though these figures change daily as snow settles. Recent snowfall has been modest but the pistes show solid coverage on the upper runs and the snow surface is firm in the mornings underfoot. Long range forecasts show only light snow expected for the next few days with generally mild temperatures around 9 °C in the valley by day and a few degrees below freezing at altitude. Winds are light and conditions look mostly dry in the short term, though there is a small chance of increased precipitation later in the coming week which could freshen up the slopes. The difference between high and low terrain remains notable with the best coverage and snow quality on the upper slopes while lower altitude runs remain thinner and more dependent on snowmaking and cold air.
