Most resorts should be in full swing by the end of June. Still the best destination for summer skiing in Europe, purely due to the number of resorts open and the reasonably extensive glacier skiing that is on offer. The 2001 summer skiing season in France kicks off this weekend as Tignes cranks up it's lifts again to offer some good skiing and boarding. Other resorts such as Les Deux Alpes, La Plagne, Val Thorens will also open at the end of the month. Engleberg is still the only resort offering summer skiing in Switzerland at the moment.
Conditions are good, but pistes are quite hard today due to some rain falling.
Les Diablerets, Saas Fee, and Zermatt are all due to open soon, which will increase the variety enormously. The Presna glacier and Passo Stelvio are still the only two summer ski destinations in Italy at present, fresh snow has fallen at altitude. Both Cervinia and Val Senales will open within the next 3 weeks. The resort received a dusting of snow over the weekend improving conditions. Timberline is the only resort still open in the US and the snow depths are holding fast with 250cm at the top.
