Skiing in December – a well kept secret…
We’ll let you into a secret – we reckon December is the best month to ski. Great recent record of early season snow, cheap deals to be had and empty pistes make December a great contender for the best ski month of the year award…
For the last 4 years since we have been living in Morzine, December has had the best snow falls. Last year’s record breaking snow fall in Morzine Avoriaz was kick started by a staggering amount of snow in early December. On 1 week in early December, it was taking us 30 mins of snow clearing just to get to our car, let alone dig it out!
Combine this with the fact, that most people don’t even consider going skiing until January, means we get to enjoy all of these incredible snow covered slopes to ourselves. There is a part of us that doesn’t want to even tell anyone about this so we can continue having it to ourselves!
The final, compelling factor is price. Ski passes for early December are usually discounted and secondly, AliKats are doing a special offer of a 10% discount on the week of the 14th December meaning the price is just €559 per person! Get in touch ASAP if you are interested and hopefully see you on the slopes in December. But don’t tell too many people…
