(last updated 11 March 2010)

In Switzerland many ski resorts received snow showers this week and most of the winter destinations still provide with very good conditions for snow sports, especially on the upper runs. The Swiss resort of Zermatt (22 - 132 cm) is in great shape after the ten centimeters of snow that fell there yesterday and currently they have most of their lifts running. Similar is the state of the lift facilities at Murren (87 - 221 cm), which has also been refreshed over the weekend. It is still snowy at the Swiss resort of Adelboden (15 - 140 cm) today and very good snow sports can be enjoyed by their visitors. Verbier and Grindelwald both have very good skiing on offer, particularly on the higher ski slopes, but the conditions are spring-like lower down. St Moritz with around two meters of snow on their upper pistes is also skiing very well. Similar are the conditions at Saas Fee (85 - 228 cm) and Andermatt. The snow park of Saas-Fee is open for visitors. The ski resort of Davos (52 - 157 cm) is also providing with great conditions for skiing and snowboarding on good snow base following the snow showers from the last weekend, but have in mind that it is windy on the higher slopes. The Parsenn and Wolfgang skiing areas have some of the best conditions on offer and the off-piste snow sports are also good. Glacier 3000 and the Swiss resorts of Gstaad and Les Diablerets are open for snow sports and good skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed by their visitors. The Titlis glacier at the Swiss resort of Engelberg is open and has excellent skiing and snowboarding on offer, providing with one of the deepest snow bases from the ski resorts in Switzerland which we report on. The Swiss ski resort of Zinal has very good skiing on offer especially on their higher pistes. The Swiss ski villages of Crans Montana, Flims and Laax are all providing with daily snow sports of ski season 2010. Wengen is also welcoming their winter guests with good conditions for snow sports and skiing possible down to the village itself. Lenk, Les Mosses, Arosa, Leysin, Anzere, Pontresina and Villars-sur-Ollon are all in decent shape. The Swiss resort of Champery in the Portes du Soleil skiing area provides with very good riding.
