Snow Report: Great end-of-season conditions
Friday, 9 April, 2010Go as high as you can and get up early, says Matthew Leighton, but there’s still great skiing at most resorts around the country:

Fresh snow for the holiday weekend!
Thursday, 1 April, 2010No joke: Finally some good news on the slopes around the country as fresh snow is falling. Matthew Leighton has details—and even better news for procrastinators: There are still empty rooms at most of the resorts, so bundle up and make a reservation.

Snow Report: Glimmer of hope for snow tomorrow
Friday, 26 March, 2010Warm, wet conditions have left pretty lousy conditions around the country—but falling temperatures mean there’s a chance of fresh powder in some places. Matthew Leighton has details:

Snow Report: Go high, go north-facing
Friday, 19 March, 2010Conditions are fading as the weather warms. Your best bet is above 2,500 meters and on north-facing slopes. Matthew Leighton has more details and hope for Easter weekend: It’s due to get cold again next week.

Snow Report: If you can leave work, go now!
Friday, 12 March, 2010It’s picture-postcard beautiful in alpine resorts around the country today, says Matthew Leighton, but the forecast for the rest of the weekend is less encouraging—and conditions are hard:

Snow Report: On-piste skiing good, off-piste skiing bad
Friday, 5 March, 2010General skiing conditions haven’t changed much in the past week—it will be cold with a fair base of snow in most parts of the country. There is more chance of snow on Saturday, but colder and windy weather is forcasted for Sunday with temperatures at roughly -13°C. Matthew Leighton talks about this year’s skiing conditions overall: on-piste skiing rates 8 out of 10, but off-piste skiing has been much more disappointing:

Snow Report: Big chill, big crowds on the slopes
Friday, 12 February, 2010The good news: While we’ve all been suffering from the freezing bise winds here in the lowlands, there’s very little wind and plenty of snow up in the mountains. The less good news: The crowds are back—and it’s going to be exceptionally cold. Think -17°C. Matthew Leighton has details—and a stern warning to stay on piste!

Snow Report: It's getting better all the time
Friday, 5 February, 2010After a slow start to the season, most of the resorts are now getting a good base. Matthew Leighton says get up to the mountains!

Snow Report: It's all about the next 24 hours
Friday, 29 January, 2010Conditions for Saturday and Sunday skiing should be great, but forecasts of very heavy snowfall in some parts of the country starting as early as this morning mean getting up there could be the problem. Bottom line: If you’re going up to the mountains today, go as early as possible. Matthew Leighton has more:

Snow Report: Now's the time to hit the slopes
Friday, 22 January, 2010There’s been a bit of snow, no wind and plenty of cold weather to aid the snow cannons, so you’ll find great on-piste conditions all around the country. The next couple weeks are the best time to head up to the mountains, Matthew Leighton explains:
