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.

Sion Air Show 2011
September 20th, 2011 - Posted by: Powder Monkey
This weekend the MD of Snowjet – David Lacy – and I were invited by our friends at Sion airport to the Breitling Sion Air Show. We went on Sunday the last of the 3 days and the moment that winter arrived in the Alps. The impressive aerial displays were well worth us being wind and rain battered for most of the time and as an added bonus, breaks in the cloud revealed the Valais’ peaks were getting their first dusting of snow of winter 2011/12.

Sion to Nendaz – The shortest ski transfer in the Alps?
June 22nd, 2010 - Posted by: Powder Monkey
When Snowjet launched its ski flights to Sion last winter we knew the route would take off because of the proximity of Sion airport to big name resorts such as Verbier (45mins), Saas Fee (1h15 mins) and Zermatt (1h40mins) but we weren’t aware that there is masses of skiing even closer by. Nendaz, an up and coming ski resort in the heart of the 4 Vallees – the largest ski area in Switzerland – is just a 20 minute transfer away from Sion. So close, in fact, that you can already see it perched on the mountainside when you arrive at the airport and you keep the runway in sight for most of the short drive up to resort.
