Where can you find the best late-season snow? Ifyouski's website says it all. Of the places in its table of 40 resorts with the most recent snowfall, only number 38 - Sauze d'Oulx - is in Europe.
After bumper dumps early in the season, Europe has been sunning itself while the States - Colorado and Utah in particular - has been thumped and is enjoying superior conditions.
Typical is Colorado's Winter Park, with 290cm on its upper slopes, following a storm a week ago. Winter Park's spokesperson Joan Christensen, reported 68 inches of snow in 72 hours - "the largest snowstorm in the resort's history".
Liz Russell, at the Ski Club of Great Britain, says most European resorts have not had much snow since early February.
"Europe has had a peculiar season, as one massive dump of snow really set the resorts up. Most who have skied over there recently have enjoyed endless sunshine," she says.
Under all this sun, European conditions are very spring-like - slushy resort runs and high pistes in reasonable shape only early in the day.
