Chamonix Snow Report
– 1999-2007 (8 year average)
|
|
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.
