Where is Verbier?????????

Verbier has been rendered almost inviisible by the low cloud and snowstorms of the last couple of days. The new snow is great but finding your way around the mountain is somewhat challenging!!

Conditions on the mountain are thick powder everywhere. Most of the runs are open but people are sticking to the lower slopes where trees make it easier to find your way around. Morning skiing is providing the best conditions – in the afternoon watch out for scraped off areas of ice in-between the piles of powder.

Also beware of large icy bumps hidden by the new snow. A BASI trainer (who will remain nameless) reportedly came to grief a number of times on attempting Fontaneys. As you can see the ES team are enjoying the weather on their all week training session.

The final run down to Medran is still shut after the melting snow last week made it almost bare. But an alternative route for the last section is available which brings you out at the top of the Medran car park.

The next few days are forecast to continue with more snow and low visibility. With on mountain temperatures of around -9C made colder by some gusting winds. Wrap up warm – winter has arrived at last.
