Superior Ski Conditions throughout the European Alps
There’s been approximately two metres snowfall during the week. The snow was so prolonged that ski lifts were closed, the railroad train was stopped at Chamonix Mont Blanc and not traveling up to Le Tour. Roads have been shut and snow announcements published.
Compare this to a couple of winters ago, with the unbelievably warm Jan conditions, grass appearing on the mountain, and admonitions that global warming meant the finish of snowboarding in the Alps. Indeed the OECD’s report from winter 2006 admonished that global warming could make skiing far too dear for the majority of snowboarders, with one third of skiing resorts closing with the disappearance of glaciers. Scientists say that it is inconceivable to ascribe these yearly variations in the weather to the outcomes of climate change.
We might have the deepest recession in 25 yrs, and the Pound has plummeted to new levels versus the euro, however the conditions are first-class, and the latest bookings prove that skiers are eager to enjoy the great conditions and our luxury chalets are all occupied. Its probably the best in six winters, and many skiers are announcing its the nicest ski snowboarding conditions in ten yrs.
All the same recollect that snow like this means high risks of avalanche.
