Three Valleys Snow Report – Week Ending 11/01/14
Over the last week our guests were very lucky. Saturday night and Sunday morning saw a 10-15 centimeters of snow in resort with more at higher altitudes. However, the clouds cleared away through Sunday afternoon to set up a full week of blue skies. With fewer crowds after the busy Christmas and New Year period meaning virtually no queues at all at the lifts, our departing guests have enjoyed arguably the best conditions of the season so far.
Inevitably a week’s use has taken a toll on some of the lower slopes. However, with more fine weather predicted for the week ahead, guests arriving today can look forward to a great week ahead. To really make the most of the week, we would recommend a 3 Valley pass which not only allows you to enjoy the best skiing in Meribel, but also to seek out the best snow in Courchevel, especially around the Signal, Pyramide and Chanrossa lifts which enjoy the best of the morning and early afternoon sun. For those looking to push themselves a little more, Val Thorens is also easily accessible, where the thicker snowpack at higher altitudes offers some great opportunities to head off-piste.
Over the week ahead, more snow is predicted on both Monday and Thursday nights. The forecast suggests both snowfalls will deliver 10-12 cm, helping to keep the pistes fresh throughout the week ahead.
