Snow Report Jan 12, 2023
Well it seems all the prayers and snow dances paid off this week, we had the promised great new snowfall throughout the Alps on Sunday, Monday and a little more on Wednesday too. Temperatures fell dramatically which is great news as the snow cannons could run. Piste bashers and ski patrol have been working overtime to make sure the pistes are in good condition with the much needed new snowfall. But wait there’s more to come…
La Plagne has had at least 55cm of new snow in the last week and is looking like it is going to get at least another 39cm of snow Sunday and Monday and loads more on Tuesday. Temperatures are plummeting to a minimum of -11°C by Tuesday evening and freezing levels as low as 600m by Monday. The snow conditions are mixed with packed powder and groomed snow. With all the new snow that has fallen this week, the avalanche risks in La Plagne are currently considerable, so please stick to the marked pistes and check all guidance in resort.
La Plagne has around a snow depth 170cm at the Glacier at 3000 metres, described as soft snow with around 10cm of hard packed snow at village height.

Top Tips if you are coming skiing this week
- Pack a variety of gear – high and low light goggle lenses and different thickness layers! Temperatures are changing and fluctuating between 0 and down to as low as -12°C in some places so be prepared. You may even need a waterproof outer layer some days!
- Keep up to date on lifts opening/closing as times can change when the weather closes in and a few of the lower slopes currently have several lifts and pistes closed.
- Check the avalanche risk and absolutely don't head off-piste if you don't have the correct information, equipment and guidance.
- Winter tyres or snow chains are mandatory across the region and you’ll likely need them this coming week. Make sure your car is well-equipped to travel safely.
There’s still time to come and enjoy the quieter slopes and improving snow conditions during January. There are good deals on accommodation in La Plagne
