St. Moritz snow report
Reliable, sunny and expensive. This page reads Corviglia, the ski area the name properly denotes, not the whole 350 km Engadin pass. The sun that sells the place turns the south and east-facing lower slopes to slush by lunchtime, and the Piz Nair cable car often does not open until late December.

Why it snows here
The Upper Engadin is one of the driest inner-alpine valleys in Switzerland, with about 710 mm of precipitation a year at Samedan and the minimum falling in midwinter. This is a cold snow climate rather than a wet one: the pack survives on altitude and frost, not on volume.
Reading St. Moritz like a forecaster
The number that matters most at St. Moritz is the difference between the base (1772 m) and the summit (3057 m): when the freezing level sits between the two, the mountain is split into rain or wet snow below and dry snow above. The Ski Meter reads the model at both elevations and scores the day with every point accounted for; the full report adds hourly timing, accumulation ranges and confidence tags so you can decide when to travel, not just whether.
