Megeve
Snow
Report – 2000-2008 (8 year average)
|
|
Megeve has always
benefited from an above average snow record for its
altitude range thanks to the microclimate resulting
from the proximity of Mont Blanc. Sufficient snow
cover is expected from Christmas until mid-April.
Megeve also benefits from
tree line skiing which provides good shelter. Here is
the snow record data for Megeve. 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
(Megeve being mostly
pasture).
