Forecasters say make sure you enjoy the warm weather this weekend – as by next weekend it will be time to get out the skis.
It’ll start to get colder on Monday, say meteorologists, and by Wednesday there’ll be what’s being described as a snow burst.
By the middle of next week there could be as much as half a meter of fresh snow in many ski resorts – and may be a meter in parts of Valais and Graubünden.
It’s good news for the resorts – many say they will start to open in the next few days.
