The weather isn’t ideal yet, but with snow falling these days, the ski season is really starting now.

White snow has also been falling in the plains since Thursday morning. After the hot summer and rainy November months, winter weather must appear and with it the desire for skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and all other winter sports.

There was almost no snow yesterday, yay for today!

“While assessing the general situation, we came to the decision not to open Pizol this weekend,” explains Jürg Schutereit (53), marketing manager at Pizolbahnen AG. However, if the snowfall continues, the season may start earlier than the planned December 9.

The fact that the forecasts for the beginning of winter on December 1 are not very encouraging from a meteorological point of view makes the late start of the season bearable: The weather will be cloudy and heavy snowfall throughout Switzerland. According to Meteo News, 50 to 75 centimeters of fresh snow will fall in the mountains on Saturday morning, with more locally available.

All in all: beautiful winter sports weather on Sunday – icy cold and sunny!
