Snow Report 23rd January 2016

Courchevel & La Tania

After a fantastic week of snow with lots of lovely powder to be found, today we skied all the way down to Saint Martin and back again in one fleeting visit and oh how the snow was good! There’s more than enough of it, yet busy pistes that find themselves in the shade for sections of the day do have a tendency to get a little crusty and patchy in places! Yet with that said, each run that did have icy sections also had plenty of snow along the sides or even in the middle – it was just a case of finding it!
 
The Courchevel Valley is amazing as usual, it even got a little busy today (Saturday) with guests from other valleys coming to join in on the fun… Head to the sun drenched runs as it’ll keep you warm and you’ll get the best snow.
 
Meribel, as usual, was a little more on the icey side. But if you follow the sun (there’s a trend forming here) you’ll be rewarded with softer snow that just seems to help you turn so much better!


Remember to visit our RSAs each morning for the best tips on where to ski and don't forget the valley rally on Friday, Chalet Rikiki are the current champions who will be the winners next Friday?
