PlanetSKI senior reporter, Simon Wilson, is in Verbier in Switzerland:
Between 5 and 10cm fell overnight in Verbier.
“Above 2,000m there is some excellent piste skiing and a bit of powder on the edge of pistes,” Simon adds.
“Fully off piste is quite windblown and tricky.
“More snow and valley rain is expected throughout the week with the forecast changing day by day.”

Overall, the weather in the Alps remains very changeable, with one storm clearing from the eastern Alps while a new warm front approaches the west.
“After another break in the weather during the middle of Wednesday yet another front will reach the western Alps on Wednesday evening, bringing further rain at low altitudes but further snow higher up, this time above about 1700-1900m,” said Fraser Wilkin from weathertoski.co.uk.
“The weather will remain very unsettled on Thursday and Friday, with further weather fronts arriving from the west.
“Temperatures will yo-yo but, on the whole, it will remain mild with further rain lower down and significant quantities of snow in the north-western Alps higher up.”
