Snow joke! It really happened in October…
Yesterday, we put up photos of it snowing heavily… In case you though we were having you on, here is what Verbier looked like this morning.
WOW!
OK people, deep breaths…. It is only 6 weeks till the season kicks off! Keep your eyes peeled for information on opening dates across our three resorts.
European Snowsport Zermatt – Kids Academy
With the Easter holidays beginning last week, European Snowsport’s Kids Academy has been at its busiest all season with eight kids groups last week! With perfect sunshine all week and amazing spring snow conditions all of the groups were able to experience the whole mountain, even our younger beginners! There are several kids groups running this week and with all the new snow forecast it is shaping up to be another great week!

ES Adaptive Manager, Sam Colby and keen snowboarder, Izzi Lock competed in the Verbier Hi-Five event last Saturday. The pair were in a Mountain Man Bi-ski and were the only adaptive participants. They raced in all the categories involving a Skier Cross, Speed Trap and Giant Slalom. Also competing in the event were some famous faces from the snowsports and music industries, including the likes of Didier Cuche, Tina Mazé, Didier Défago, Fränzi Aufdenblatten, Adrien Théaux, Tina Weirather, Alex Fiva, Sanna Lüdi and James Blunt!
The day was a success and went extremely well, although unfortunately the pair did not win any of the categories! They came 116th overall! A party was held at the Carlsverg resuaturnt in the afternoon with the girls ACDC tribute band, Back:N:Black and plenty of delicious food and drink. Later, a Mega Party was held in resort at Pub Mont Fort with the Pros serving yet more drinks and food.
