Snow Report

Be careful what you wish for!

I’ve just spent 4 days at Uludag, Turkiye and it didn’t stop snowing from my arrival on Wednesday through to my departure yesterday.

Result.

Unfortunately the snow was accompanied by wind and fog and at times it felt like I was skiing inside a ping pong ball.

But when I did find the powder it was glorious. Boot top, spongy turns top to bottom. All to myself.

Hopefully I’ll see the sun at my next destination, Kartalkya!

Where To Ski

If you can drop everything and book a last minute trip then head to the Alps and head high.

Think Val d’Isere, La Plagne, Val Thorens, Zermatt, Saas Fee, Verbier, Solden, St Anton, Monte Rosa, and Passo Tonale.

The Turkish resorts continue to enjoy new snowfall, and it’s only a 3.5hr flight to Istanbul.

Have the time to head further afield? Then nothing’s changed. It has to be the resorts on Honshu and Hokkaido, Japan which are experiencing record breaking snowfall.
