3. Day 6·Nov 8·Likely·38cm(-39)

   Day 6: totals down 39cm, 8–69cm for Isola 2000

   Day 6: totals down 39cm at Isola 2000, the window slid 3 days later, 5 resorts joined the path. Current prediction: 8–69cm for Isola 2000 between 2026-11-14 and 2026-11-17, 38cm our central figure. The biggest day is 2026-11-17 at 27cm. Also in the path: Prato Nevoso 37cm, Artesina 36cm, Stranda 35cm, and 2 more. Confidence is likely: the models agree on both the window and the magnitude. By resort: Likely at 3 of 6 resorts. On day one we said 39cm from 2026-11-15; that is the number we are measured against. What to watch next: whether the models hold the window, whether the low tracks closer to the core resorts, and the freezing level in the days before it arrives. 6 days to go.

6. Day 3·Nov 5·Watching·39cmFirst prediction

   Confidence builds: 39.1cm for Stranda Nov 15–18

   THE PREDICTION: We anticipate a total of 39.1cm for Stranda over the window from November 15 to 18, with a range of 3.8–57.3cm. The current pattern suggests a favorable setup for snowfall across the Alps and wider Europe, with conditions trending on track for this event. Stranda stands to benefit the most, particularly on November 17, when we expect the biggest day with 30.3cm. Other resorts may see varying amounts, but they are not listed here, so we focus on Stranda. A shift in the forecast could occur if the models diverge significantly in the coming days, which would impact our confidence in these totals.
