Grand Massif Snow Report – 1999-2006 (7 year
average)
|
|
Morillon and more generally the Grand Massif (Flaine) has always benefited
from a superb snow record thanks to the microclimate
resulting from the proximity of Mont Blanc. Snow
cover on at least parts of the ski area is pretty
much guaranteed from mid-December until late April.
Here is the snow record data for Samoens, which is right next to
Morillon. 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.
