Cheaper Transfers to French Ski Resorts

November 30th, 2008 - Posted by: Powder Monkey

Snowjet has always aimed to get you to the slopes more quickly and for less. We do so by providing low-cost, skier friendly flights to Chambéry, the local airport for many of the finest ski resorts in the French Alps. Flying to Chambéry hugely reduces transfer times and therefore transfer costs to Val d’Isere, Meribel, Courchevel, Les Arcs, La Plagne and more. At Snowjet we are conscious of the fact that even a short transfer can be very expensive, so we have come up with a brand new initiative to save you even more money on your ski holiday travel arrangements.

Let it Snow – 80cm of Snow Forecast in the French Alps!

November 19th, 2008 - Posted by: Powder Monkey

With only a few weeks to go before the French ski season gets into full flow it’s time to start thinking snow. I’ve been obsessively checking my favourite snow forecast website over the last couple of weeks and my dedication to the cause seems to have paid off – there’s a big snowstorm brewing. Temperatures are expected to plummet to well below freezing, light snow is forecast to fall on Friday night and to continue right through the weekend, with the heaviest fall predicted on Sunday night. A thick blanket of snow will cover the mountains by the beginning of next week, which will stand resorts in good stead for when the lifts open.

Read on for details of how much snow is forecast in your favourite resort and when it is open for skiing. Read more…

Ski Holiday Bargains in December

November 7th, 2008 - Posted by: Powder Monkey

The well-reported dump of snow across the French Alps last week has fuelled expectation among winter sports fans of another bumper snow year. Over half a metre of snow fell in some places and, although it warmed up over the weekend, there has been a steady accumulation of snow above 2500m for the last couple of nights. Die-hard skiing enthusiasts are already enjoying knee-deep powder on the glacier in Tignes although other French resorts are not scheduled to open for several weeks. Here in Chamonix the lifts are not due to open fully until Christmas while most of the high-altitude resorts are opening between the end of November and the middle of December. Pre-Christmas there are some great bargains waiting to be snapped up and with conditions like these you won’t want to miss out.
