What Information Will You Find in Our Snow Report?
Each snow report is designed to give you a complete view of the resort's conditions in real time. Here's everything you can see:
- Snow Depths: Minimum and maximum snowfall data at the resort's altitudes.
- Snow Quality: We'll tell you whether the snow is powder, hard, spring-like, or wet so you can choose the right material.
- Open Slopes and Lifts: Check the exact number of slopes and lifts in operation.
- Skiable Kilometers: Discover the total area available for skiing or snowboarding.
- Weather: Weather forecast for the next few hours at the station.
- Webcams: Access to resort webcams so you can see the conditions with your own eyes (when available).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the Snow Report
We answer the most common questions that arise when planning a trip to the snow.
How often is the snow report information updated?
Slope status information is updated daily. Ski resorts typically issue their first report early in the morning, before opening, and revise it if conditions change dramatically during the day (for example, due to heavy snowfall or wind).
What does "snow quality" mean?
Snow quality describes its condition and texture, which directly affects the skiing experience:
- Powder Snow: Fresh, light, and dry snow. Most skiers prefer it for its softness.
- Hard Snow: Snow compacted by skiers or freeze-thaw cycles. It's fast-moving and requires good ski edging.
- Spring Snow: Wet, heavy snow, typical of sunny days with positive temperatures. It transforms throughout the day.
- Wet Snow: Snow with high water content, generally heavy and slow-moving.
Why is it important to check the snow report before going skiing?
Checking the snow report is essential for three reasons: safety (avoiding areas at risk of avalanches or poor visibility), planning (knowing which slopes and lifts are open allows you to organize your day), and equipment (choosing the right wax and type of ski or board based on the snow quality improves your performance and enjoyment).
