Incredible Conditions in the Alps |

|
In case the media haven’t been as quick to report on the recent deluge of snow in the Alps as they were to shout about the lack of it a month ago, we thought you’d like to know what incredible amount of snow has fallen over the last 3 weeks. Winter began in earnest on 1st December with the first big snowfall of the season and since then it’s just kept coming. At the weekend alone up to 2 metres of new snow fell in resorts across France and Switzerland. With the snowline well below 1000m even lower altitude resorts, which can be a gamble so early in the season, are in great shape. The remarkable amount of fresh powder means that ski resorts local to Chambery and Sion airports are now well and truly set up for the season and skiers holidaying in the next couple of weeks are likely to enjoy the best snow conditions they have ever experienced in the European Alps! And you could be among them. Snowjet have flight availability in the next fortnight including flexible dates over the holiday period. Don’t miss out – book your seat today. |

Mid December Snow Conditions in the Alps
December 14th, 2011 - Posted by: Powder Monkey
It looks like our obsession with the snow forecast is paying dividends – it’s snowing again in the Alps and the white stuff is due to keep coming for the next 4 days. Up to 60 cms of snow is expected in our favourite ski resorts including Val d’isere, Tignes, Val Thorens, Les Arcs and Courchevel in France and Verbier, Zermatt, Crans Montana and Saas Fee in Switzerland. And that’s on top of the huge dump that fell last week.
Snowjet passengers arriving on our first flights to Chambery airport in the French Alps and Sion airport in the Swiss Alps this weekend are going to enjoy some fantastic snow conditions. And there’s still time to join them and make yours the first tracks in the fresh snow that’s been falling. So check out the snow forecast in your favourite resort and get booking yourself a sneaky last minute ski holiday.
Snowjet still have flights departing this weekend (17th & 18th December) available at great rates including Stansted to Chambery from £64.99 one way and Stansted to Sion from £99.99 one way.

Snow is Falling
December 6th, 2011 - Posted by: Powder Monkey
At the very same time that the British media picked up on the lack of early season snow in the Alps it began snowing and hasn’t stopped. It’s been snowing in our favourite French and Swiss ski resorts since Friday and it’s still falling as I post this, transforming the mountains into slidey playgrounds.

Half Term Snow Conditions – What to Expect
February 9th, 2010 - Posted by: Powder Monkey
Next week, February half-term, is one of the most popular for British skiers to hit the slopes. If you are among those heading for the French or Swiss Alps for the holidays you are likely to find excellent snow conditions wherever your chosen resort. If December was a little disappointing snow-wise January was outstanding with decent snowfalls on an almost weekly basis – making for current snow depths in excess of 3m in some areas, notably Chamonix. The most recent dump of snow on last Friday (05/02/10) was also one of the heaviest of the season so far with up to 50cm of fresh falling across a whole host of resorts including Tignes, Val Thorens and La Plagne in France and Verbier, Zermatt and Saas Fee in Switzerland.
