Easter Ski Snow
record
Nearly all our resorts have a snow range above 1500m
(around 5,000ft). Altitude is however not the only
important factor. Some areas like the Grand Massif or
Mont-Blanc Val d’Arly benefit from a
microclimate because of their close proximity to
Europe’s highest peak, Mont-Blanc. These areas
have a much more reliable snow record than other
resorts at the same altitude or even than some
higher-up. Other important factors for good snow are
North-facing slopes as whatever cover they get will
simply last longer. What lies below the snow cover is
also of importance: a few centimetres will be enough
to ski on pasture whereas more will be required to
cover a rocky surface. Finally resorts that have snow
cannons to cover the lower slopes (generally the
nursery slopes) offer a good guarantee. These will
normally run at night from early December to top-up
on natural snow cover. Above all what is important is
to check the hard facts as in the end the snow
history over a period of time is the only reliable
indicator. Over the past 8 years skiing was available
in all our featured resorts for Ski at Easter.
