Meribel has moved firmly into spring conditions now, though the mountain still holds a solid base thanks to its elevation and consistent winter snowfall. The higher slopes above the valley are still looking well covered, while lower runs are beginning to show more variation through the day. There is a noticeably more relaxed feel across the resort, with longer, sunnier days and quieter pistes making for enjoyable cruising conditions.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths are around 60 to 80 cm at resort level at 1400 metres, with between 150 and 210 cm across the upper slopes above 2500 metres. The higher terrain towards Mont Vallon and the connections into Val Thorens continue to hold the most reliable snowpack. There has been very little recent snowfall, with only light dustings at altitude over the past week.
Temperatures have been ranging from minus 6 to minus 2 degrees on the highest slopes and between plus 2 and plus 10 degrees in resort depending on sunshine. The freezing level has been sitting around 2200 to 2600 metres during the day before dropping overnight, allowing for a refreeze that helps maintain piste quality. Winds have been light overall, with occasional moderate gusts higher up.
Skiing conditions are best above 2000 metres where the snow remains firm in the morning and softens slightly through the afternoon. The Mont Vallon sector is skiing particularly well with good coverage and consistent snow. Lower runs back into Meribel soften more quickly in the sun and can become heavier later in the day, so are best enjoyed earlier.
