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.

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…
