Mate, we had 5 meters (record) this years in South West Switzerland and even Ticino had their 4-5 resorts open for a great season.

Colorado had record snow this year (2024).

Well the snow might have not been great but the Swiss countryside always nice! The scene at 2:20 you just don't get in the US.

its just a bad second half winter but remember the season already started very early, late november already had lots of snow, its also possible that in early april there could be massive snowfall. I remember last early december it was even possible to go cross country skiing in Belgium (which was like never possible in the last 10 years)

Skiing on the upper mountain has been great. And the climate is going to change whether humans are on the planet or not, fact.

[@leeryant1]

The snow was still great up top on the Lauberhorn, just a big contrast when skiing back down into Wengen.

[@TG-pd3ft]

That area has always had a very poor snow record

Few more years and skiing will be ultra wealthy only sport, we'll all be pushed to above 2500m...😢😢

You already have to spend a lot of money for a family to ski :)
