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.

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.

Everyone’s Tweeting about the Snow
February 15th, 2011 - Posted by: Powder Monkey
Good News: it’s snowing across the French and Swiss Alps, just in time for the half term holidays.
January had been remarkably dry and while the snow on piste has held up well, thanks to mainly cold temperatures, the snow now falling is very welcome. Hence all the excitement from followers of @ChamberyFlights and @SionFlights on Twitter.

The list, compiled by Private Fly’s Adam Twidell, named the world’s top ten most awe-inspiring approaches and reminded travellers that: “… a journey by air can be a life-enhancing experience in itself.”
