WEEKLY SNOW REPORT AND EVENTS IN THE 3 VALLEYS 22/01/2018

Snow report and piste guide for the 3 Valleys

Bonjour a tous! Reporting to you live from Meribel and La Tania, the Alpine Action Resort Team are back with your  Weekly Snow Report and Events in the heart of the 3 Valleys. The snow Gods have answered our prayers and this Winter 2017/18 has seen more snowfall in the past month and a half than it did the whole of last Season! Approximately 3 meters of snow has fallen, leaving us with a solid 2 meter base and regular dustings on top. This week we are forecast for another 30cm of fresh snow.

The 3 Valleys mountain teams have been working extremely hard to ensure our pistes are safe and secured so we can have all the fun playing in the POWDER. The mountain has become a playground for all, with Liberty Free Ride areas being secured for the skiing adventurer wanting a bit of Alpine Action, by trying out some off piste terrain in a secured area. Main pistes have been groomed to perfection – this weekly our absolute favourite run is the NEW Jeruselum piste dropping from Meribel into Saint Martin.

 

Winding and rolling all the way from the top of Saint Martin Express 2, to the centre of Saint Martin village, this run is an absolute dream and accessible for intermediate – advanced skiers – it is certainly the best run we have skied this season!

If you fancy trying out some off piste terrain in a secured location our Liberty Ride area (highlighted in yellow on your 3 Valleys piste map) of the week is… Tetras.

Tetras: Located in Courchevel 1650, this run used to be a groomed piste but is now home to an ungroomed monitored Free Ride area. Shooting down under the Chapelets lift in Courchevel 1650 this run has a mixed terrain with side hits, moguls, untouched powder and short but steep descents.

Weather forecast

This week we have already seen heavy snowfall since Saturday with approximately 15cm falling until this evening. Tomorrow (Tuesday) the clouds will clear and sunshine is forecast for the next 2 days. On Thursday evening the clouds will re-form and a further 27cm of snow is forecast to fall over night and into Friday. Next week we are currently forecast for sunshine all week!

The Meribel Valley currently has a reading of 125cm of snow at resort level (1450m) and 330m at Altitude (2700m).

The Courchevel Valley currently has a reading of 207cm at resort level (1800m) and 290cm at Altitude (2700m)

Avalanche risk is 5 out of 5 – do not go off piste
