This weekend winter arrived in all her glory! Mounds of snow fell across the northern side of the Alps in France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy and the ski resort towns are properly white now all the way down into the valleys. Up to half a metre more snow is expected tonight in many ski areas, with skies potentially clearing later in the week. The Alps are finally ready for the Christmas holidays!
This weekend's heavy snowfall was accompanied by strong winds, and lifts in many ski resorts remain closed today. As the day wore on the storm moved east, bringing sunny skies and bluebird conditions to the French ski resorts. Meanwhile, in Austria it's expected to keep snowing through Tuesday morning.

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!
