By the end of this weekend, most of the Chilean and Argentine resorts will be closed leaving just a handful in New Zealand in operation. At present there are eight glaciers in operation. The Hintertux and Kitzsteinhorn glaciers have the largest number of lifts and runs open and both these glaciers have received some fresh snow over the past week. Although there has been no fresh snowfalls in the past week, on piste conditions are reasonably good for this time of the year. This time it was only a light dusting of 2cm but just that small amount of snow can really improve conditions and of course adds to the snow pack.
Temperatures are low which maintains the snow.
From this weekend Les Diablerets will be offering some autumn skiing. The resort is reporting some freshly fallen snow and the sun will be shining today perfect autumn skiing conditions. From this weekend Cervinia will be open daily. The resort intends to reopen the glacier as soon as they have a sufficient snow pack. The winter season has come to an end in Australia and all but one resort are now closed.
