Flaine (Grand Massif) Snow Report – 2001-2011
(10 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.
