The last powder alert really enriched the good base throughout the Alps, at least at high altitudes. Unfortunately, it was blown away by the wind, especially on the main Alpine ridge, but the snow line was generally quite low. High pressure is now prevailing with a pleasantly cool northerly flow and plenty of sunshine. The next few days should offer the best touring conditions in perfect weather!

A solid base and plenty of sunshine promise the best touring conditions
Medium-term prospects
But no, we're giving the all-clear straight away. In the outlook, we are not expecting a permanently blocking omega weather situation; on the contrary, it should remain wintry in the medium term and become wetter. The Arctic air mass will continue to push retrogradely from the east towards Central Europe, while the warmer subtropical air mass threatens from the south-west. The air mass boundary runs roughly along the main Alpine ridge and the temperature differences between the north and south sides of the Alps will remain considerable. Over the course of the next week, precipitating disturbances will repeatedly embed themselves in a north-westerly flow, and we hope this means further relevant snowfall. So much for the outlook, which definitely doesn't look too bad. We wish you good tours and conclude with a short PG-ICON weather tutorial.

PowderAlert 6 2023/24 | Back to normal
Lars Oelmann • 01/05/2024After December was characterised by a succession of snowfalls from the west to south-west until the end of December, and accordingly warm, and even January started like this, we are now returning to normality and slowly having to say goodbye to the record snow depths at altitude, but also to the lack of snow below 1500m. Thank Ullr, because the valleys between 1000-1500m are still feeding off their early-season cushion and below 1200-1400m there is hardly anything possible away from the artificial snow. -

Lea Hartl • 01/03/2024The days of westerly weather are numbered. An Italian low is on the horizon for the weekend, which should bring cooling and a fairly widespread supply of snow. -
WeatherBlog 5 | Warm Christmas
Lea Hartl • 12/27/2023The mild westerly weather will continue for a few more days before it gets colder and more unsettled again, at least briefly, at the weekend. The outlook in the crystal ball is not overly wintry, with the westerly flow tending to stay with us.
