Snow Reports – GRAND MASSIF (FLAINE)

The first row shows the week for which the measurement applies eg. February 3 is the 3^rd 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. The below are 9-year averages up to 2008.
