Tuesday - Friday

The latest storm moving through the Alps will bring snow to Zermatt through the end of the week. Light snow is expected most of the time, though a few periods of heavy snow are likely. These will occur on Tuesday night and Wednesday. Expect 10 - 20 cms Tuesday night and another 15 - 30 cms on Wednesday.

Wednesday will be a good powder day with free refills, but likely with limited terrain due to lack of visibility. 

The total snow accumulation through Friday is shown below. 

Thanks to the nearly stationary upper-level low off to the west, more storms will swing through the Alps during the early part of next week as well, with more snow on tap.

Thanks for reading the Zermatt Daily Snow!

NEW: Snow Ratio Forecast

You can now get a good idea of the upcoming snow quality for the next storm via our new "Snow Ratio" forecast for any location in OpenSnow.

When we talk about snow quality, such as “light and fluffy” or “heavy and wet”, we are talking about the snow-to-liquid ratio. The higher the snow-to-liquid ratio, the lighter the snow quality, and vice-versa.

1. Go to any location screen and tap the "Snow Summary" tab.
2. Scroll down to the 5-day hourly or 10-day forecast section.
3. View the 5-day hourly or daily "Snow Ratio" forecast for the next 10 days.

10:1 will be fun but will feel a little heavy. 15:1 will offer some faceshots and feel pretty light. 20:1 will be incredibly light, almost like skiing through nothing but air.

This new feature is currently available with the latest version of the OpenSnow iOS app installed (App Store > OpenSnow > Update) or on the OpenSnow website (OpenSnow.com). It will be available in the OpenSnow Android app soon.
