Weekly Snow Report and Events in the 3 Valleys

We have been feeling hot, hot, hot, in the 3 valleys this week with glorious sunshine, blues skies and warmer temperatures. Spring is finally here, driving up the mountain towards resort, spring flowers are starting to dot the landscape and with snowy peaks and sunshine what better time of year to come for a sunny ski holiday?

There are some fun events happening in resort this week, with our good old friends Magic in Motion ski school entertaining us on Wednesday. Find an action packed day of Skiing, Freestyle, music, BBQ, water slide and prizes at the top of Rhodos lift, opposite the Rhodos restaurant, to experience “Magic D Freestyle Day” at the Magic garden. On Thursday you can catch the DC pro-freestyle snowboarders as they warm up for the “DC Area 43 Hit and Run” competition on Friday – an event not to be missed you can read more about DC Area 43 on our recent Freestyle blog post.
