Chamonix and more generally the Chamonix Valley has
always benefited from a superb snow record thanks to
the microclimate resulting from the very close
proximity of Mont Blanc. Snow cover on at least parts
of the ski area is pretty much guaranteed from
early-December until late April. Here is the snow
record data for Chamonix. The first row shows the
week for which the measurement applies eg. February 3
is the 3rd week in February. Top slopes
shows the average snow cover in cm at the top of the
ski area. Bottom Slopes shows the average snow cover
in cm at the bottom of the ski area (this is
generally where the nursery pistes are located).
About 10 cm is generally enough to ski but it very
much depends on what’s below ie. grass or more
rocky surface.

which is 7km from Chamonix.
