Half term week starts tomorrow and the snow is looking good
Half term starts for most schools in the UK today, as well as a lot of other countries in Europe, and we have been getting the chalet ready for what is sure to be a great week. We have specially ordered a large amount of snow which has been delivered in 3 or 4 installments over the last few days and the conditions on the mountain are now as good as it gets.
Morzine now has a good covering of snow at the town level (1000m) and in Avoriaz (1800m) the conditions are excellent with all pistes and lifts open. Temperatures have been stable recently hovering around the freezing point at 1000m which means the snow will be nice and soft on the piste.
Hopefully the weather will behave itself on Saturday so that everyone can get here safely and on time ready to play in this amazing winter playground!
