Swiss is SICK now. As well as north-western french alps and arlberg/vorarlberg.

Pretty much all of the alps got a good baselayer. Until saturady it'll snow, sunday it's gonna be bluebird/cold for the rest of the year. I'm going to St Anton on friday, saturday will be my first day of skiing (20-40cm expected then, as well as 50cm up till friday), so sunday is gonna be an epic bluebird pow day hopefully!

You're asking what the whole season is going to be like in an area that spans half the alps?

All got such sweet snow! Tignes got 60cm overnight one day last week!

Heading out to Les Arcs for a first day skiing on Christmas day, so happy there's so much snow.. Was getting worried 2 weeks ago.

But yeah, the alps were getting absolutely dumped on, makes up for their last season which was awful.
