European Ski Resorts Snow Levels, Skiing Conditions Reports and Weather. Europe's Glacier Resorts Ski Season 2009 / 2010 Trips.

(updated 26.11 2009)

There is very good skiing and snowboarding currently found acros the open European ski resorts. Although it will be warm in many regions of Europe, further snowfalls are predicted this week in some areas of Austria (mainly Zurs) Switzerland, Norway, Italy and France and more ski villages managed to open for the ski season 2009 - 2010 last weekend.
FRANCE: Most of the ski resorts in France which we report on received good amounts of fresh snow this week, which improved the skiing conditions. The Three Valleys resort of Val Thorens (40 - 70 cm; 7 lifts running) is open for the winter ski season 2009-2010 and one can ski down to the resort on good snow base following the snow showers during this week. Tignes (20 - 60 centimeters; 9 lifts open) on the Grande Motte glacier is open for snow sports and there are very good conditions to be found following the recent snowfalls (~ 20 cm) combined with the artificial snow making and low temperatures. The best skiing and snowboarding conditions are found on the glacier, and riding is possible down to Val Claret. The ski resort of Les Deux Alpes (0 - 50 cm) is now closed for snow sports and will reopen for the winter ski season 2009 - 2010 on twnety-eighth of November. Other French resorts which are scheduled to open the upcoming weekend include Serre Chevalier and Val d'Isere.
ITALY: In Italy, the resort of Livigno (2 - 48 cm) is open for snow sports and provides with good conditions, although on limited skiable terrain.The Plateau Rosa above the village of Cervinia is also open for daily snow sports now and the skiing and boarding conditions are fantastic for the early winter season. Val Senales is also in great shape. The Italian resort of Passo del Tonale at the Presena glacier is open for the winter ski season 2009-2010, but currently snow sports are possible only on the glacier itself. The ski resort of Bormio is also open, but snow sports are available only on their higher runs between 3000 and 2000 meters elevation. Cortina (0 - 35 cm) is open for skiing and snowboarding and the snow base is being kept in good condition with artificial snow. Unfortunately, the Italian resorts of Alagna (0 - 10 cm) and La Thuile (0 - 25 cm) was forced to delay their openings due to the current weather conditions. Hopefully, both will open next weekend.
NORWAY & SWEDEN: All of the Scandinavian ski resorts which we feature have received new snow this week. Both Norwegian ski resorts of Geilo (30 - 45 cm) and Hemsedal (65 - 97 cm) have the deepest snow cover on their terrain and provide with fantastic conditions for snow sports. The resorts of Trysil and Oppdal also have good skiing on offer but currently Oppdal is open only during the weekends. The Swedish resort of Are (10 centimetes) has also opened for winter sports, but for now there are only 2 pistes available, served by one lift. Snow sports at the village of Salen (10 centimeters) are possible only on the Lindvallen and Tandadalen skiing areas. Further snow showers are forecast in both Norway and Sweden this weekend.
GERMANY: In Germany, the only open area for snowsports is Garmisch-Partenkirchen (0 - 105 cm) on the Zugspitze glacier. With snow base of around one meter on their upper pistes, they provide with good skiing and snowboarding conditions on fresh snow cover. The resort has 10 runs open for skiing and boarding, accessed by 6 lifts in operation.
ANDORRA: In Andorra, the Grandvalira and Vallnord ski areas and the resorts of Soldeu and Pas de la Casa were able to open for snow sports 2 weeks earlier then the initial plans. But then closed until 28th of November and skiing and snowboarding but now they postponed the opening date for the next weekend because of the warm weather.
The open resorts in Austria and Switzerland are providing with great snow base and skiing conditions and the number of open resorts and ski areas in both countries is steadily increasing.
