Spoiling the Foehn
March 28, 2024 | Serfaus, Austria
In the last few days the weather and snow conditions have taken an abrupt turn for the worse here in Serfaus (and I assume in Tyrol in general). Just like three weeks ago, another snowstorm is raging on the southern side of the Alps, but here on the northern side we're just getting windblasted by foehn winds, forcing many ski lifts to close, which in turn concentrates the Easter break crowds into a much smaller area. Meanwhile the ski slopes have become bulletproof; especially the south facing slopes which are visibly blue ice. For the next few days the forecast is calling for hurricane force winds. But it's snowing a little bit now... so there's hope!? 🥴
