The Net’s Most Wanteds

Weve had approximately 1.5m snowfall during the last seven days. The snowfall was so deep that ski lifts were shut, the funicular has been terminating at Chamonix train station and not going to Argentiere. Some roads have been closed and snow announcements issued.

Compare this to a couple of seasons past, when there was the unusually mild Feb weather conditions, grass showing on the pistes, and reports that global warming meant the death of the ski industry in the French Alps. Indeed the study from winter 2007 warned that climate change would make skiing holidays far too dear for a lot of holiday makers, with one-third of resorts going bust and the melting of glaciers. Experts assert that it’s virtually impossible to ascribe these annual deviations in the snow to the outcomes of climate change.

So we might have the worst recession in 30 years, and the Pound has dropped to new levels versus the Euro, but the skiing is superior, and the last reservations show that people are enthusiastic to enjoy the fantastic skiing conditions with our self catered chalets full. This winter is definitely the finest in six winters, and many skiers are stating that it’s the nicest skiing snow in 10 yrs.

Nevertheless recollect that this amount of snow means big avalanches risks.
