After the sun - there's more snow on the way! The latest snow report from TDCSki

Snow Report 29th Jan 2018 Val d'Isere Tignes from tdc - the development centre on Vimeo.

Here's the latest report from TDC Ski from Val d'Isere. It's a good summing up of conditions so far this January.

Yes it's been an up and down month with a series of storms bringing LOTS of snow, with swinging temperatures meaning that the rain-snow limit has varied enormously, and with strong winds which has accentuated the avalanche risk at higher altitudes and led to lift closures.

This last week however has brought some sunshine, clear blue skies and excellent piste conditions. 

As if on request Mother Nature will be dumping more snow on the Alps for the start of February - stay tuned for up to date info and photos.

There's still time to book if you're looking for a last minute break - and with the snow accumulations we have now, skiing is sure to be good for Easter and beyond!

This week's snow report from TDCSki from Val d'Isere

There's been more wild weather across the Alps - and loads more snow. Yes it's turning out to be an incredible winter in terms of snowfall with January bringing us a series of storms and snow dumps measuring in the metres.

It's not all been rosy - the snow has come with high winds and temperatures have been very up and down - resulting in high avalanche risk and lift closures. However the skiing that has been available has been great! At this rate we'd say it's unlikely that you'll see a rock until at least April.

Mountain weather is changeable and the large accumulations of snow will inevitably bring risks. Lift companies will be pulling out all the stops to make sure that areas are secured and once they are you can be sure of great conditions. From tomorrow there will be a respite from the stormy weather and sunshine and warmer temperatures before temperatures plunge again at the weekend.

If you're tempted to go skiing it's certainly not a bad idea to escape the winter wet and head for the snow! Check out our Last Minute Offers!
