Quick answer
Verbier's official snow report is published by Téléverbier on its website and app, with snow depths by sector, open pistes and lifts. In 4 Vallées, snow conditions vary a lot depending on orientation (shaded slopes keep snow longer) and altitude: Mont-Fort (3,330 m) usually saves the season when lower slopes are poor. Before heading up, always check the official report, webcams and the day's weather forecast.
How snow behaves depending on orientation and altitude
In Verbier and across the 4 Vallées ski area, north-facing slopes (shaded) keep powder snow much longer than south-facing ones, where sun and wind transform it quickly, especially in spring. Altitude is also key: sectors like Mont-Fort, Col des Gentianes or Attelas, above 2,700-3,000 m, keep better snow quality and quantity than the lower slopes of Verbier village (1,500 m), especially at the end of the season.
When Mont-Fort saves the season
When snow is scarce on the lower pistes due to rain, warm wind or lack of snowfall, the Mont-Fort glacier usually stays skiable thanks to its altitude and orientation. It's common in March or April, with spring conditions in the valley, for this area to keep powder snow or good piste conditions for several more weeks.
