Oz-en-Oisans (Alpe
d’Huez) Snow Report
– 1999-2008 (9 year average)
|
|
Oz-en-Oisans has always benefited from a superb snow
record thanks to the sheer altitude of the Alpe
d’Huez ski area and its
glacier. Snow cover on at least parts of the ski area
is guaranteed from mid-December until late April. The
best slopes in April for snow are in fact usually
found on the Vaujany side. During the less snowy
seasons, the 700 snow cannons do ensure decent snow
cover is maintained on the lower slopes. Here is the
snow record data for Vaujany. 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.
