Les Saisies Snow Report – 1999-2007 (8 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.
