Weather Forecast

December
is the best powder skiing. Our terrain needs about a metre snowpack for good skiing which is usually achieved at the end of November. This is when the faceshots could be every day. Trail breaking is deep and groups tend to ski trees as visibility is low. Temperatures average -10C during the day.

January is starting to ease off on the snow and the snow remains powder even on the south facing slopes. Skiing is good on all aspects, and all elevations. Similair temperatures to December with a few more sunny days.

February is often chosen as the best of both worlds as storms roll in 4-5 times a month but with short spells of clear weather. Choosing terrain starts to become aspect dependant. Temperatures can vary from -2C to -10C during the day.

March is the start of spring and the time to look at the high alpine big lines. 3-4 storms can drop huge quantities of snow with skiers staying on the north and east facing slopes. The days are long making it great times for longer tours.

April is very much like March however the temperatures can easily move above 0C and skiers are heading up high early in the morning and staying on the peaks and bowls. Spring skiing, north facing powder pockets and the occassional storm makes for great skiing with awesome visibility.

Summary:
Typically our most popular months are January, February and March. For this reason we offer 10% discounts for bookings in December and April. We recommend that you book well in advance. We have some dates booked two years in advance.
