PowderAlert 15 2019/20 | More Powder.

The oracle is still enjoying the memories of alert 14, but Ullr is not letting up and is sending us further disturbances from the west and southwest into the Alps, so that the regions continue to be supplied with snow. The current also has a southerly component and so it's snowing in the south again for the first time in a while. After that, it's going to be a lively week and there should be another alarm on Tuesday. More on this in the medium term.

Alert period and areas

It is snowing from France across the Maritime Alps and from Ticino to the east in alarm-worthy amounts. However, the core lies from Trentino via the Dolomites to the border triangle near Slovenia. Most of all, as usual in such a situation, in the Julian Alps.

The northern Alps and especially the north-east will be left out in the cold. It's more likely to be foehn-like.

The alert will last until Tuesday morning, with only a short break on Tuesday before it theoretically snows again.

Wind

Hold on tight, it won't be very windy. Even at 3000m, the models are only seeing some blustery winds here and there where it's snowing. So for what seems like forever, Ullr has been sending us lots of snow and quite little wind.

Where should I go?

While it is snowing, I would recommend the trees in the west, especially in the Isere or Savoy region, as there is still a base there from the last snowfalls. I'm not sure about the south and south-east. Depending on your taste, you can check the local meadows and pastures there, but I would advise against trees unless I have overlooked secret spots with a base.

On Tuesday you can check the snow everywhere in the sun, which should still be powdery even at higher altitudes.

Then it will probably start snowing again and it will be a new alarm rather than relaxed touring.

Mid-term

Tuesday will see a new alarm. Where and how much and how long it will snow then is still unclear, but if you want to stay somewhere this week, the models and Ullr's crystal ball recommend France (especially Isere down to the Hautes Alpes), where you have the first alarm and then possibly more real snow on Thursday and Friday, and possibly again without much wind. There may also be some in the northern Alps west of the Arlberg, but that's shaky and the amounts are lower, so the week in France is a better bet.
