And that’s a wrap for this winter in Avoriaz  – and what a fantastic season it’s been! Christmas and New Year delivered major snowfall, setting us up for a brilliant holiday season that carried through into January. Regular snowfalls followed, culminating in a huge dump at the end of the month, making for incredible conditions during the school half-term holidays.

Despite some warmer spells at the start of March, the snow held up well on the lower slopes and up high it was fabulous throughout. We received frequent snow top-ups, ensuring excellent skiing right through to the end of the season this weekend.

For the last few days of the season, you’ve got quite a mixed selection of weather. It’s currently snowing hard over about 1,500m and is due to continue snowing all day, bringing up to a metre of snow in some places. 

This current heavy snowfall is due to a retour d’Est; an easterly flow that typically only occurs once to three times per winter. It happens when a low-pressure system deepens over the Gulf of Genoa, creating a disturbance that draws moist air from the Mediterranean. This air is pulled in from the east by strong, counter-clockwise winds and is pushed up over the mountains. As it rises, it cools quickly and releases significant snowfall, as is happening now!

The sun will likely break through for a time on Friday, Saturday and Sunday giving some sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures to ski on all that fresh snow. 

It's shaping up to be a great Easter holiday weekend and season finale, with closing day on Monday 21st April.
