Ski Club of Great Britain reports snow falling across the glaciers already!

Fresh snow in Europe
Tuesday 15 September 2009
It seems that winter is in the air, as Kaprun, Hintertux and Mölltal in Austria, Saas Fee in Switzerland and Val Senales in Italy are all reporting fresh snow on the slopes!

Zermatt-Tuesday

Val Senales-Tuesday

Hintertux-Tuesday
Accoding to our snow reports, fresh snow has fallen at the Austrian ski areas of Hintertux (55cm) and Mölltal (90cm), and Hintertux currently has 9km of pistes open. There's 20cm of new snow in Kaprun (64cm) so they will be re-opening once the snow base is replenished.

Saas Fee (59cm) is also reporting a 2cm dusting of fresh snow on the glacier ski area, and Zermatt has also had a dusting, keeping the four red runs and two blue runs in decent shape for autumn skiers.

In France, autumn skiing is due to kick off in Les Deux Alpes between 24 October and 1 November and then lifts will open for the main winter season from 28 November. The Grande Motte ski area in Tignes will reopen for skiing from 26 September and neighbouring Val d'Isère opens for the winter season on 28 November.
Heavy clouds about the summer skiing area at Val Senales (80cm) brought fresh snow on Monday morning, and the new snow has refreshed the piste cover for skiers. Cervinia is currently closed, but the resort plans to reopen for weekend skiing from 10 October and then daily from 31 October.

Oh Happy Days!
