Malbun through the ski season
Typical highs at 1,718 m go from 0°C / 32°F in January to 8°C / 46°F in April. January has about 16 wet days; December has about 15 stronger-gust days.
March brings about 15 freeze-thaw days near 1,582 m. A firm morning surface may soften even though the higher cold-day temperatures remain below freezing.
A compact ski area can still involve plenty of time standing around during lessons. For a family trip to Malbun, plan warmth around the children’s lesson times and bring dry spare gloves rather than packing only for active skiing. Plan your Malbun ski trip →

About the data
The selected slope heights are 1,582 m, 1,718 m and 1,871 m. All three heights share a 6.5 km weather-model cell. Precipitation and gust figures are shared.
These are historical estimates, not a trip forecast. A rain or snow day has at least 1 mm of precipitation. Temperatures are adjusted for slope height; precipitation and 10 m gusts are not. Each data cell is about 6.5 km wide, so conditions on an individual piste can differ.
