Snow conditions

Updated Monday 30th January 2012

In summary .... brrrrrrr!

This season is already set to go down as one of the best in memory - by the New Year week some resorts had seen more snow than in the whole of last winter!

We have had around 10cms of fresh snow this weekend that has topped up a superb base. Snow conditions in Les Gets and Reberty Village (Les Menuires, 3Valleys) are superb. A little more snow is forecast over the next 48 hours and then the skies are set to clear.

However ... much as temperatures have dropped in the UK, so they are set to plummet in the Alps. It hasn't been a particularly cold winter so far (despite the huge snowfalls) but all that is set to change. Towards the end of this week even lowly Les Gets will see temperatures of around -20!

My family are heading out to the mountains this weekend (Reberty Village) for our own family ski trip. I have yet to psyche myself up to discuss the wind chill potential ... I may just sneak off to the shops and buy some extra thermals on the quiet!
