Well with the half-term groups now safely settled into their resorts, I can now draw breath from what has been an extremely interesting few weeks. The season did not start well. With the horror winter of 2011 fresh in everyone’s minds, the lack of snow was clearly a concern again. In November Saas Fee sent round their Newsletter and put our minds at rest at Ski Gower. Once again the choice of our high Swiss resorts was already proving itself, as it has done every year since we began in 1959. Here is an extract from their Newsletter of 11th November 2011
Wow! But as we know the weather in The Alps can change so quickly and our group in Davos from 2nd to 9th January 2012 certainly experienced this. The locals could not remember snow fall like it since 1999 and it just continued to snow and snow and snow. They had a great week! In fact it had snowed so much in January and early February that we now began to fear for the travel arrangements for our groups with Heathrow have flights cancelled the previous weekend and chaos on our own roads potentially posing a threat to even getting out of the U.K. However, just in time the weather both in the U.K. and in The Alps settled down. All our flights left on time and with the predicted threat of road travel chaos after Thursday night’s snow storms not materialising our Friday and Saturday coach departures left unhindered for the chilly crossing of France to The Alps. They are now enjoying one of the best week’s skiing for many a year with wall to wall sunshine interspersed with a little top up of snow in the middle of the week.
