Published : 16-Jan-2020 09:15
Hopes are currently high that after four weeks with little or no fresh snowfall in most European ski areas, this weekend will bring a change in the weather with 20-40cm of snow widely forecast across the continent.
However one part of Europe has been seeing snow over the past month and the last seven days have seen totals falling increase, with one resort now posting 127cm (over four feet) of fresh snow in the past seven days, including 80cm in the past 72 hours, 30cm in the last 24.
Myrkdalen ski area by Voss in coastal Western-Norway is the resort, and Voss's other ski area, Voss Resort, has the second biggest number with 85cm (nearly three feet) of snow in the past week. A third Western-Norway resort, Roldal, reports 80cm.
These three have had more than twice as much as their nearest competitors for snowfall this week – all of the top 10 in Europe of which are in Norway and include international resorts like Geilo, Trysil, Hemsedal and Beitostolen with 15-35cm each.
