Europe stands out with its exemplary snow conditions, especially in France's Val d'Isère and Les Trois Vallées. Across the Atlantic, North America's Whistler Blackcomb and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort offer substantial snow bases. In Asia, Japan's Niseko resorts maintain their reputation for consistent snowfall. This report will guide you through the best snow conditions and luxury accommodations worldwide.
Europe currently holds the crown for the best snow conditions, particularly in France. Val d'Isère and Les Trois Vallées boast excellent SnowSure Scores and impressive base depths. North America follows closely, with Whistler Blackcomb and Jackson Hole offering solid snow bases, though their SnowSure Scores are not as high as Europe's top contenders. Meanwhile, Asia's Niseko resorts provide a delightful experience with consistent snowfall and decent base levels. Overall, for those seeking the best snow, Europe, particularly France, offers unparalleled conditions. However, North America and Asia remain attractive options with their unique offerings and reliable snow cover.
Overnight snowfall has been modest yet promising across various regions. Limone Piemonte in Italy received 5cm of fresh snow, adding to its allure. Japan's Niseko resorts, including Hanazono, Grand Hirafu, Village, and Moiwa, each reported 2cm of new snow. These additions promise delightful skiing conditions, enhancing the already impressive bases across these locations.
Looking ahead, the 14-day forecast predicts significant snowfalls, particularly in France's Les Trois Vallées, with an expected 108cm in the coming weeks. North America is set to experience a steady flow of snow, with moderate accumulations enhancing the current bases. Asia's Niseko region will continue to benefit from regular snowfall. The next major storm is expected to impact the European Alps, promising further exceptional skiing conditions.
