“The pistes are in really good condition, but it really does need to snow,” said Max and Sally.
“There has been no fresh snow since 20th February and it is now really feeling it.
“However we have been enjoying the clear blue skies and enjoying drinks and food in the sun – one of the best parts of March skiing.
“But we are missing some powder!”

Meanwhile here’s the overall assessment for the week in the Alps from Fraser Wilkin from weathertoski.co.uk
A man who knows about these things.
“Over the next few days, many parts of the Alps will remain dry with some sunshine,” said Fraser.
“However, there will be areas of cloud drifting around, especially in the far west and south-west where some showers or flurries are possible.
“These could become more consequential for a time in the far south-west (e.g. Isola 2000, Prato Nevoso) on Monday night and Tuesday, when 5-15cm of snow is possible.
“The best of the sunshine over the next few days is likely to be found the further north-east you are.”
There are early indications that there might be some snowfall in the Alps at the end of the week, but it is too early to say so.
PlanetSKI’s editor, James Cove, will be in the French & Swiss Alps later this week, so look out for his updates.
He is currently driving out and stopping en route.

Sunday 8th March
It was sunshine and late season conditions in the Austrian resort of St Anton for PlanetSKI’s Jane Peel.
“The temperature first thing this morning was around 10 degrees Celsius in the town, which is at 1,300m altitude,” Jane said.
“It was not a surprise to find that it felt more like April up on the mountain with the first turns on hard pistes that quite quickly changed to soft spring snow.
“There’s no snow in the immediate forecast so it’ll be a case of choosing our runs carefully this week.”
