March Skiing – The Best of Both Worlds
February 28th, 2012 - Posted by: Powder Monkey
Unbelievably, we’re already more than halfway through the ski season! There remain just 6 weeks left to take advantage of the record breaking snow-conditions in most of our favourite French and Swiss ski resorts.
With the February holidays over and the Easter holidays still a month away, March is a great month to enjoy quieter slopes.
Plus we’re unlikely to see any more temperatures in double negative figures as we turn towards the spring, in March you can ski with the Alpine sun on your face.

Countdown to the X Games Tignes
February 14th, 2012 - Posted by: Powder Monkey
The Tignes edition of the Winter X Games, which we believe to be one of the most exciting events in the European wintersports calendar, is now just a month away.
The biggest European extreme wintersports event of the year is returning to the French resort of Tignes for the 3rd consecutive year from 14th – 16th March 2012. It will be an action packed 3 days which will see more than 150 of the World’s elite freestyle skiers and snowboarders vying for slopestyle and super pipe supremacy.
There will be eight different competitions for men and women over three days as well as hair-raising, gravity-defying Snowmobile demonstrations.
The spectacular event draws thousands of fans and there’s a real party atmosphere not only slopeside but throughout the resort.
Check out this video teaser of the X Games Tignes and if you like what you see book yourself a holiday to coincide with the action.
