Snow Report 7/12/22
Ok so winter has arrived and with it the snow and very cold weather here in Avoriaz. Regular snowfall is in the forecast and the accumulation of snow continues.
Avoriaz enjoyed a pre-season weekend opening last weekend and reports were that the snow was really good up there.
It's exciting to see the resort all white again, the village getting ready for the season and restaurants and shops beginning to open in readiness for the opening of Avoriaz this Friday with the opening event, the Rock on Snow Tour.
There's quite a mix of snow quality out there, soft and powdery on the high north facing slopes but where it's windy the snow is a little hard and icy. The latest snowfall was below 1500m and as it is so cold out there the snow cannons can be run. If you are ski touring in the Avoriaz area, take care out there as some lower areas only have thin snow cover and you could encounter rocks and dips.
After good snowfall on Sunday we have a top snow depth of 65cm at 2460m and around 35cm at 1800m. The next snow, around 15cm is currently reported for Friday and looks set to continue with a sprinkling for a few days. The freeze thaw conditions for the next week range from a maximum of -1°C and down to a minimum of -14°C by Sunday.
