Chamonix Weather Roundup, Winter 2008/09 ski seasonThe snow in Chamonix this year rocked. It snowed heavily and often, creating excellent ski conditions throught the alps. Whatever effect global warming is having here in Chamonix, it isn't curtailing snowfall. Temperatures on the other hand have been higher than average. A poor understanding of avanalance risk combined with a poorly bonded layer near the base layer throught a large part of the early season is thought to have contributed several fatal avalanches in the Chamonix Valley. Anyone with a snowfall addiction will probably know of Decker already. He's our favourite French meteorologist - chiefly because he's not afraid to stick his neck out and have a go at forecasting up to six months in advance. His maps (see above for an example) are a lot, lot clearer than those produced by our own Met Office, too! He predicted cold, dry start to the 2008/09 winter ski season in the alps, and he was right. |
