Les Saisies Snow Report – 1999-2009 (10 year
average)
|
|
Les Saisies has always benefited from a superb snow
record thanks to the microclimate resulting from the
proximity of Mont Blanc. It is for this very reason
that it was chosen to hold the Nordic ski 1992 Winter
Olympics events (Cross-Country skiing is usually
practised at bottom of the downhill ski areas). Here
is the snow record data for Les Saisies. The first
row shows the week for which the measurement applies
eg. February 3 is the 3rd week in
February. Top slopes shows the average snow cover in
cm at the top of the ski area. Bottom Slopes shows
the average snow cover in cm at the bottom of the ski
area (this is generally where the nursery pistes are
located). About 10 cm is generally enough to ski but
it very much depends on what’s below ie. grass
or more rocky surface.
