Greetings, I am looking for some online resources detailing the average snow coniditions (total snowfall, average base depth, etc) at European resorts. I am not having much luck searching on my own, does anyone have good recommendations for resources? I am specifically interested in Chamonix, Zermatt, Verbier, and St. Anton. Any help would be appreciated! -Geoff.

fyi, when looking at the data, you might as well throw out anything earlier than 2000. climate change has taken it's toll on euro winters. of your list, st anton is probably going to be the best bet. check out engelberg too, i would guess that to be on par with st anton for pow.

A great resource for checking snow conditions at the time in Switzerland is the Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research.
The have maps I would love to have here in Colorado, so you would not have to play the puzzle and check all the Snotel stations after a storm.
For example the 1day snow total:

3day total:
http://www.slf.ch/swiss-snow/hn3dc.html
Absolute total at 2000m:
http://www.slf.ch/swiss-snow/hsrdc.html
They will start updating it sometime in November.

Anything above 1400m should still be good in Alps - except Italy where 1800 is the safe zone.
Slower accumulation means I wouldn't go until the second half of January (unless sticking to the Pistes).
