PowderAlert #3: you should go to these resorts!

PowderAlert #3: you should go to these resorts!

Powder Alert # 3 is in effect from Thursday November 30th until Monday December 4th. But where to go? Not all ski areas are open yet, but we’ve made a list for you where the lifts will be running the next couple of days and where the base is good. Remember that it is still early season and there are three risks that you have to take into account:

  1. There are still plenty of crevasses on the glaciers that haven’t been snowed in.
  2. There’s plenty of snow, but the snow cover can still be a bit thin locally. Think about rocks and branches that could result in injuries.
  3. When there’s enough snow to ride, there’s enough snow to slide: avalanches

Want access to the most comprehensive online backcountry snow safety courses for skiers and snowboarders? Use code “WEARESKIING1718”, valid until the beginning of March, to get access for only 9€ (Reg: 29€). Go to Mountain Academy and start now!

Check out the list of ski areas that are open or will open soon below. There’s a good base in these resorts and they’ll get snow the next 48 hours. Click on the link to go to the resort page for a more detailed weather forecast, webcams, the local avalanche forecast and accommodation options.
