Want the detail? How this Alpine read is built Signals, transitions and methodology
Current evidence first
Live and forecast mountain signals are kept separate from enduring resort Fit, so a short weather event cannot rewrite the resort itself.
Season decides relevance
Snow-memory and snow-caution signals are deliberately suppressed outside the winter decision season.
Missing is not negative
Incomplete evidence is not converted into an artificial zero or a hidden penalty; the interface simply avoids making a stronger claim than the available mountain signal supports.
Conditions

High-mountain snow
24h28h change: little change
Leading current high-mountain snow report: Piau Engaly with about 350 cm on the upper mountain.
Why it matters
residual high-mountain snow can affect summer mountain conditions above 2,500 m, but it does not imply that ski terrain is open or skiable.

48h precipitation outlook
24h28h change: lead changed from Flekkefjord to Fjardabyggd
Strongest visible 48h precipitation signal: Fjardabyggd at about 69 mm.
Why it matters
a strong short-range precipitation signal can reduce visibility and mountain comfort; compare temperature and webcams before travel.
| Skiresort | Precipitation (mm) | Wet days | Temp (°C) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| total | max/day | ≥ 1 mm | hi | |

5-day precipitation forecast
24h28h change: lead changed from Lamoura to Les Rousses
Strongest visible 5-day precipitation signal: Les Rousses at about 140.2 mm.
Why it matters
multi-day totals reveal persistent wet patterns and help separate one short event from a broader unsettled period.

Daily total
Tue, Sep 29Precipitation
↗
Strongest visible short-range signal: Fjardabyggd · 69 mm. Use the map to see whether it forms a broad Alpine pattern or a local hotspot.
A strong wet signal can mean poorer visibility, wetter trails and more disruptive mountain conditions; temperature determines how high snow remains possible.
For outdoor planning, compare areas outside the strongest wet corridor and then open the full map before choosing a destination.
Mid-mountain max
Tue, Sep 29Temperature
↗
Mid-mountain temperature separates cooler Alpine sectors from warmer valleys and helps explain where precipitation feels most disruptive.
Warmer mountain sectors can amplify heat stress and rain impacts, while cooler zones generally preserve visibility and comfort better.
For cooler mountain conditions, compare higher terrain and the blue-green sectors before opening the detailed temperature map.
