Three Valleys Snow Reort – Week Ending 22/2/2014
Obviously we hope for good weather every week, but fingers were especially tightly crossed last week. Half-term week brought thousands of wide-eyed youngsters to the 3 Valleys, eager to experience both the thrill of seeing fresh snow all around and the rush of then gliding across it as they learnt their snow ploughs and parallel turns. A few brilliant days on the mountain now can nurture a lifelong love of the mountain.
Last week got off to a great start as heavy snowfalls on Saturday night and Sunday morning left tonnes of fresh powder for Monday when burning sunshine and the deepest of deep blue skies made for the kind of conditions that we all dream about. The kids didn’t have it all their own way as Wednesday and Friday both brought overcast skies and low-hanging cloud. However another magazine -cover day on Thursday ensured that the children sitting with me on the transfer back to Grenoble this morning are absolutely buzzing about what a brilliant week they have had skiing in the 3 Valleys.
For those arriving this week, the good news is that forecasters are predicting much of the same to come. We have had fresh snow on the ground again this Saturday morning, with more scheduled in the second half of the week on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. Sunshine is expected throughout the day on Sunday, Monday and Thursday, with cold temperatures throughout the week to help keep the snow in the best shape. Perfect for everyone arriving for their chalet holidays
