Skiers look set for a great start to 2016, with new snow forecast over the next few days.
In Europe, the western Alps will experience more snowfall on New Year’s Eve and then again on Saturday, January 2, with up to 20cm of the white stuff expected in places, according to snow-forecast.com.
In the Pyrenees, around 10cm of new snow is expected on Saturday, with further light falls possible after that.
Even in areas where there is lighter snow, colder temperatures should ensure snow machines will be able to get to work.
Snow-forecast.com says up to 30cm of fresh snow may fall in parts in Norway, while the
Chamonix valley could receive around one and a half metres of new snow at mid-mountain level by the end of the first week of January.
On the east coast of the US and Canada, conditions look set to improve thanks to fresh snowfall overnight and through the day yesterday.
