If you’ve been keeping tabs on weather reports in the Alps over the last few weeks, you’ll have noticed that more and more of that white stuff keeps falling from the sky! After a heavy snowfall this weekend and finally bluebird skies this morning in the Alps, more ski resorts are on the brink of opening their doors for this winter’s ski season. Mountain villages buried under powder snow and thanks to the hard work of the piste bashers, new freshly groomed pistes are waiting for you! Join the hordes of skiers who are flocking to the Alps this week in anticipation of what is shaping up to be a stellar ski season!

About Danielle

Born and raised in the ski paradise of Vancouver, Canada, I learned to ski before I can remember, balancing precariously on my parents’ skis as they sailed down the hill. I started snowboarding in my teens and am now delighted to be exploring everything Europe’s ski scene has to offer!
