SKI SEASON GETS SET FOR AN EARLY START

If you haven’t booked your ski holiday for next season now might be the time with heavy snow expected across the alps over the next two weeks. Early estimates range between 0.8m and 1.2m falling with temperatures and snow falling below 1,000m later on this week. Ski resorts as a consequence are already talking about opening early with many set to open a mid to late November and a bumper snow for the Christmas and New Year ski holidays after the disappointingly slow start last year soon to be forgotten.

It is a much needed boost to the ski and snowboard industry and some long range forecasters are forecasting one of the coldest and heaviest snowfalls for many seasons.

So it really does seem time to dust off the ski and snowboarders and get ready to enjoy the powder. Contact the Chalet Ski Holidays team today on +44(0)117 362 0100 for the latest availability and some great Christmas and New Year Ski Holiday deals.Share

NB: Forecasts are based on the anticipated snowfall in the Western Alps, taken from a select range of sites to provide a broad representative measure of the anticipated snowfall and the altitude snow is expected to fall. Forecasting is however always notoriously difficult to predict, particularly in the mountains, and the information is given as indicative probability only.
