Quite a lot of snow has fallen from late December onwards, but there have been notable mild weather at times, which has left some lower slopes in particular with snow shortages at times.

Alps Weather Forecast 28 February 2015

[size=4][font=arial][b]Summary[/b][/font][/size] There has been further snow this week, and conditions are generally very good with abundant powder.

Apologies for my poor explanation but hopefully
