They have just had a huuuge dumping of snow. 60cm over night, unreal when not even two weeks ago they had almost no snow. Watch this:



Shred it up Alps NSers!

but it's on top of nothing... we need a couple more good storms to have safe and decent coverage. this is definitely a good thing though.

This, I'm off out there tomorrow. My flight today got cancelled, but the resort will probably be closed tomorrow anyway. Avvy risk will be off the charts for the next few days. It is great news for the season, although, based on last year, this might be it!

^^yeah, for many low altitude resorts this is probably their first layer ....

one little bad side of this story might be that many resorts are probably going to get closed down this weekend due to avvy risk...
a lot of resorts are already at 4/5 and predicted to hit 5/5 resulting in closure of resorts and many alpine roads ... :(

I just feel bad i'm locked away in my dorm having to study while i see these ridiculous images popping up all over my facebook feed ! >:(

Honestly, I'd say theres a 90% chance that all the resorts in the area will be closed tomorrow.
Its 3-6ft of snow on top of bare rock in most places, slide potential is going to massive.

It's easy: if it's 5/5, don't go out. Fucking dangerous.
The only thing you can do is make a small jib-setup or do some crazy shit in your backyard. Don't go out.

Long overdue. Super stoked on all the snow. I leave for Austria in a week, by then the pack will have settled a little hopefully. It's too risky now!

The snow was amazing today in Austria.... Still thin in some spots but overall Zauchensee was a blast. So stoked to go up tomorrow. Not stoked on going back to Vermont on Thursday....
