Avoriaz is properly back in winter mode this week. The resort itself is well covered in snow and the surrounding slopes look settled and wintry, with cold temperatures helping everything stay in place. There has been a steady flow of skiers arriving over the last few days and the general feeling on the mountain is that conditions are building nicely as we head towards the Christmas period.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths in Avoriaz are sitting at around 120 cm at altitude, with roughly 55 cm reported at resort level. Recent snowfall earlier in December helped lay down a solid base and although the last few days have been drier, cold overnight temperatures have kept the snow in good shape. Forecasts for the next few days suggest mainly settled weather with occasional light snow showers possible, particularly on higher slopes. Daytime temperatures at resort level are hovering close to freezing, while higher up they remain comfortably below zero. Freezing levels are generally staying below 1500 metres, which is ideal for preserving snow quality across most of the ski area. Winds have been light to moderate and have not caused major issues on the lifts or exposed ridges.
