Where To Ski

There will be very good Spring skiing across the Alps but head to north facing slopes above 1,700m for the best conditions. Preferably with gondola or covered chair access from the village to escape the rain.

Head to Roccaraso, Campo di Giove and Gran Sasso in the Italian Apennines for great Spring powder conditions.

Eastern Europe is looking good with Popova Shapaka living up to its ‘We Have Snow’ tag line.

Myrkdalen and Narvik are the go to destinations up North.

Further afield, a Spring trip to Hokkaido is still definitely worth the travel time.
