What is unusual
Open Alpine Watch →Alpine ski weather that differs from the seasonal pattern
Concrete local departures in wind, temperature, precipitation or snow can make a ski resort behave differently from nearby alternatives.
Snowpack below the weekly norm: 28% of norm
Snowpack above the weekly norm: 263% of norm
Exceptional 5-day snowfall signal: 10 cm forecast
Want the detail? How this Alpine read is built Signals, transitions and methodology
Current evidence first
Live and forecast mountain signals are kept separate from enduring resort Fit, so a short weather event cannot rewrite the resort itself.
Season decides relevance
Winter snowpack, incoming snow and freezing level can all contribute.
Missing is not negative
Incomplete evidence is not converted into an artificial zero or a hidden penalty; the interface simply avoids making a stronger claim than the available mountain signal supports.

Spatial read
Alpine ski weather pattern now
A concise Alpine overview: what changed, where current evidence is strongest, and which deeper report to open next
Daily total
Thu, Nov 12Precipitation
↗
Strongest visible short-range signal: Sankt Peter · 15 cm. Use the map to see whether it forms a broad Alpine pattern or a local hotspot.
Precipitation only becomes useful snowfall where temperature and snowline are favourable; wind can redistribute the final accumulation.
For snow-focused plans, look for high-altitude resorts inside colder precipitation zones rather than relying on precipitation totals alone.
Mid-mountain max
Thu, Nov 12Temperature
↗
Mid-mountain temperature shows where precipitation is most likely to fall as snow rather than rain.
Temperature controls snowline, surface quality and freeze-thaw behaviour; small elevation differences can change ski conditions quickly.
For snow reliability, prioritise colder high-altitude sectors and compare them with the precipitation pattern.

Current snow and forecast tables for verification.
Snow depth
24hSince yesterday: lead changed from Chatel to La Pierre Saint Martin
Leading current snow-depth report: La Pierre Saint Martin with about 225 cm on the upper mountain.
Why it matters
a deep upper-mountain base is a strong snow-cover signal, but lower elevations can still differ sharply.

48h snow alert
24hSince yesterday: lead changed from Grossglockner to Sankt Peter
Strongest visible 48h snow signal: Sankt Peter at about 15 cm.
Why it matters
short-range precipitation can change snow conditions quickly; temperature and altitude determine whether that signal becomes useful snowfall.

5-day snow forecast
24hSince yesterday: lead changed from Grossglockner to Valtellina
Strongest visible 5-day snow signal: Valtellina at about 19 cm.
Why it matters
multi-day snowfall highlights persistent accumulation potential, but wind, temperature and snowline still control final ski conditions.
