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.
