Easter Skiing

If you are looking for great Easter skiing then our advise is go high after this years disappointing snowfall, although we don't anticipate it happening two years on the trot! Previous years have seen great skiing so our advise is don't be put off by one bad year! Easter ski holidays are some of the best in our view for families in particular as the longer, warmer days are far more pleasant for the children, as opposed for example to the cold Christmas or New Year ski holidays.

Easter Ski Holidays

This year the Easter ski holidays were disappointing with some of the worst snow on record in Europe. A snow drought in January and February and an exceptionally warm March saw the lower altitude ski resorts fighting to maintain the slopes. The higher altitude ski resorts faired better but the unusually warm climate still left ski resorts with limited snow and some south facing slopes icy.

After the last three years where the Easter skiing has been some of the best of the ski season, its unfortunate that such an extremely poor Easter this year will last long in the memory and dampen demand in the future.   Our view is that such is cyclical and we therefore look forward to a bumper Easter ski season next year, only time will tell if we are right!

Easter Skiing Holidays

With the half term ski break rapidly approaching its safe to say the Ski Easter break won't be far away. The latter is fast becoming one of the most popular ski weeks of the year as people find the warmer and longer days, typically with some of best snow cover of the season, too tempting to miss.
