If you celebrated the holiday by hitting the slopes yesterday, you might have spotted a few flakes at the summit. Thankfully, Christmas is lasting a little longer this year—snow is dumping on Les 3 Vallees and L’Espace Killy, with 28cm of fresh powder expected in both areas by the end of the day today.

The slopes were barely visible early this morning as we welcomed the first big snowfall in weeks.

 

The forecast looks like the weather will clear up tomorrow, with snow showers scattered over the next few days into early next week. This will help with the thin snowcover that has plagued well-traveled routes with a gravelly base and has left boulders uncovered off of the piste. Off-piste conditions should be improving generic valtrex with the steady snowfall, meaning more terrain will open up to accommodate the holiday crowds that have settled into resorts for the next two weeks. Be sure to book your off-piste guide with us for a brush-up day spent tackling those enticing runs!

Looking to add some variety to your ski holiday? Courchevel offers floodlit night skiing each Wednesday, so take advantage of this unique opportunity to ski under the stars! At last night’s kickoff, the resort proved why it has enjoyed a reputation as the “St. Tropez of winter sports.” Fireworks, a DJ, and many smartly-dressed resort-goers made for a spectacular Christmas evening.

Merry Christmas from the team at VHS! We hope you enjoy your powdery weekend!
