Ski In Ski Out

As yesterday saw even the best ski resorts close down, many eyes are now turning to next season. One company that is worth mentioning is Ski In Ski Out Chalets who have some great chalets in true luxury ski resorts so you can meet your mountain guide at your chalet, and use the ski in ski out convenience to get to the best off-piste!

Bad Weather Limits Off-Piste End of Season

After some fabulous off-piste days in the recent sunshine, the last few days of the 'official' ski season have been somewhat disrupted by the recent bad weather, with strong storms crossing the Alps. Whilst the snow line will fall,  it is likely to be all but the real hardy off-piste skiers that will be hanging up their season for six or seven months.

Easter Skiing

If you missed this years Easter Ski holidays break, our advice after this year, is don't miss out next year! Some of the best off-piste conditions are during April as the weather stabilising, we have long sunny days, and typically the snow is some of the best you are likely to find anytime during the season, assuming you have selected a good guide and on this note we suggest you talk to www.chamonixexclusive.com on this or www.skiinskiout-chalets.com who would both be happy to provide impartial advice.

Great Mornings For Getting Out

The current weather is providing fabulous skiing for the early bird from mid stations and above.  Light snow at 1,800m was seen today with further snow flurries expected later this week. Tomorrow is a great day t put on those skins for some ski touring with bright sunshine most of the day.

Being April, conditions are typically hard packed in the morning before softening late morning.

Easter Ski

This week saw some great skiing all over the Alps with fresh powder at the end of last week and a further 20 to 30cm overnight today. The storm last week meant that tree line skiing was particularly good with Chamonix Exclusive's clients popping across to Courmayeur to ski some great powder in between the trees with Simon Abrahams, a well respected local Mountain Guide.

They then followed this with a trip down the Valley Blanche on the Friday and again found great snow conditions to cap off a great Easter Ski week for them.

Perfect Conditions On The Vallee Blanche

If you are looking to ski Chamonix's world famous Vallee Blanche, with the recent snowfall, this is the month to do it. Tuesday and Wednesday the forecast is for more snow, and possibly Thursday as well so assuming that is the last of the snow, the weekend looks set for one hell of a day of powder!
