The bottom of the OK, Val d’Isere’s lowest point, yesterday morning. “There’s a lot of snow on the roofs of our chalets, and it’s at least twice as deep on the piste,” says John Yates-Smith of YSE.
As we say in our latest snow report, winter is about to make a comeback in the Alps and the drop in temperatures is going to be huge. Over in North America they currently have the best snow conditions of the season. So don’t hold back, book that final ski holiday – there are plenty of deals left.
And don’t forget – you can also have a last-minute, late-season ski holiday up for grabs in our latest competition. A chalet holiday for two in a choice of French and Swiss resorts is first prize. Click on this link to enter.
