Earlier this week, we forecasted that Zermatt would pick up somewhere around 36″ of fresh snow this upcoming week as a storm barrels towards the southern alps. However, as the storm continues to intensify, we’re upgrading our forecast.

The early season storm is all-important for late-season glacial coverage in the higher elevations and could serve as the base for what might become Europe’s best ski season in recent history.
