Late Season Snow Best For 25 Years
Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Conditions in the Alps and Pyrenees are as good as they have been for 25 years, according to the Ski Club of Great Britain.
Skiers and boarders wanting to get to the Alps for a break over the Easter holidays will find pistes in excellent condition with good snow cover off-piste and deep snow bases.
Al Morgan, Information Manager at the Ski Club of Great Britain said, “There is still plenty of time to fit in a ski holiday before the end of the season. Many tour operators have fantastic deals available and run holidays right through to May.”
“ This is definitely the year to make the most of the excellent snow conditions. Skiing in April and even May offers long days for skiing, sunny terraces for leisurely lunches and less people than the busy periods. Get out there if you can!”
Resorts open until 26th April include: Flaine, Les Arcs, Avoriaz, Meribel, La Thuile, Bormio, Davos, Wengen, Zermatt, St Anton and Lech.
Resorts open until 3rd May include: Val d’Isere, Val Thorens, Are, Pas de la Casa, Soldeu, Ischgl, Obertauern, Obergurgl, Solden, Andermatt, St Moritz, Cervinia and Hemsedal.
Other resorts are open longer in to May and even June or July in some cases including Engelberg, Squaw Valley and Mammoth. Zermatt continues to run its lifts all year round.
