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