Fresh Snow and Fat Skis
January 25th, 2012 - Posted by: Powder Monkey
It’s another absolutely fabulous week in the French Alps with blue skies on the back of more heavy snow. The below sign post snapped on the hill on Monday says it all and was too good not to share. For non-linguists this translates as:
60 – 80 cm of fresh snow. Get your fat skis out!
Take advantage of Snowjet’s last minute ski flight deals and you could be enjoying snow conditions like these next week. All Stansted to Chambery flights departing this Saturday (28th January) have been reduced to £49 one way.

Great Reasons to Ski the French Alps this January
January 13th, 2012 - Posted by: Powder Monkey
1) Exceptional snow conditions
As you may know, conditions in the French Alps are currently exceptional. Our favourite resorts close to Chambery airport are reporting snow depths of up to 4 metres on the upper slopes and up to 2 metres in resort. That’s more than fell in the whole of last winter! These are certainly the best January snow conditions seen in a decade, some say the best in 25 years, others the best ever. Whatever the statistics, snowsports enthusiasts heading to France in the next fortnight are likely to discover simply fantastic skiing conditions.

Incredible Conditions in the Alps |

In case the media haven’t been as quick to report on the recent deluge of snow in the Alps as they were to shout about the lack of it a month ago, we thought you’d like to know what incredible amount of snow has fallen over the last 3 weeks. Winter began in earnest on 1st December with the first big snowfall of the season and since then it’s just kept coming. At the weekend alone up to 2 metres of new snow fell in resorts across France and Switzerland. With the snowline well below 1000m even lower altitude resorts, which can be a gamble so early in the season, are in great shape. The remarkable amount of fresh powder means that ski resorts local to Chambery and Sion airports are now well and truly set up for the season and skiers holidaying in the next couple of weeks are likely to enjoy the best snow conditions they have ever experienced in the European Alps! And you could be among them. Snowjet have flight availability in the next fortnight including flexible dates over the holiday period. Don’t miss out – book your seat today. |

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.
