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.

Ski Resorts Open Early across the French Alps!
November 28th, 2008 - Posted by: Powder Monkey
The French ski season is gathering momentum with more and more resorts announcing that they will open earlier than planned thanks to last weekend’s mega dump of snow. And it seems the snow wealth was evenly distributed right across the Alps.
It’s been a sub-zero week in Chamonix and the early snow is hanging around, even at resort level, so I will be skiing locally this weekend. The Compagnie du Mont Blanc, who manages the lifts in the valley, has announced a partial opening of the Grands Montets, and Chamonix’s Italian resort partner, Courmayeur has followed suit. Chamonix’s former French partner, Les Houches, is also due to open tomorrow.
