PlanetSKI’s February Snow Report
Sunday 1st February
We start in Canada where the heavy snowfall and cold temperatures of earlier in the season are a distant memory.
PlaneSKI’s James Cove has been skiing the resorts around Banff this weekend.
On Sunday it was the local ski hill to Banff – Mt Norquay:

On Saturday he was skiing in Sunshine Village where there had been a few centimeters of snow that freshened things up nicely.

There was even a spot of fresh powder if you know where to look.

At the very top of the resort at 2,398m the temperature remained cold in the wind.

Over in the Alps it has been generally cloudy with some modest snowfalls, but things are picking up and this week should see heavy snow in the southern Alps.
It is due to start late on Monday.
Let’s not forget Scotland.
Our great PlanetSKI friend, Patrick Thorne, has been reporting for Snow Forecast:
“Ski areas in the Scottish Highlands are reporting their best conditions in several years after a month long spell of cold and snowy weather has built to big snowfalls over the past week,” said Patrick.
“Glencoe, Glenshee, The Lecht and Cairngorm ski areas have all been able to open large swathes of their terrain at times, for several of these the most in several years.
“Access at Cairngorm is also now much improved with the reopening of its mountain railway access to its higher terrain after years of closure for protracted repairs.
“The snowfall, coupled with gale force winds has though had its usual impact on operations, at times blocking access roads, burying lifts and making it difficult for centres to open lifts.”
