Superb Ski Conditions throughout Europe
There has been close to 1.5 meters snowfall during the week. It was so prolonged that chairlifts have been closed, the train has been stopping at the Chamonix station and not heading up to Le Tour. Some roads were closed and avalanche warnings released.
Contrast this to two winter seasons past, when there was the unusually mild Feb weather, grass showing on the ski slopes, and reports that global warming would mean the finish of skiing in the European Alps. Indeed the OECD’s report from 2006 admonished that climate change would make skiing far too dear for a lot of snowboarders, with a 3rd of resorts going bust and the thawing of alpine glaciers. Climatologists insist that it is nearly impossible to attribute these yearly deviations in the weather patterns to the effects of climate change.
We could have the deepest recession in almost 30 yrs, and the Sterling has headed to record lows compared to the euro, however the snow is superb, and the last bookings show that snowboarders are enthusiastic to take of advantage of the first-class snow conditions and our luxury chalets are full. Its undoubtedly the finest in eight winters, and lots of skiers are stating that it’s the best skiing conditions in ten seasons.
Nevertheless recall that this amount of snow means big risks of avalanche.
