[b]Summary[/b]
The weather across the Alps continues to be mild for the most parts with spring skiing conditions, there has been some fresh snow but this is largely confined to higher resorts. Further down resorts have been losing their snow cover, and slopes are seeing the snow base thin and turn slushy, however snow levels are still quite good after heavy snow earlier in the winter,
Next week is looking mostly dry and turning milder, so the best of the skiing conditions in the morning.
