Latest From Chatel & the Portes du Soleil
March 30, 2010We have less than 4 weeks to go until the end of this winter season with the last ski lifts closing on the 25th April. As usual there will still be plenty of snow around at the end of the season but if its like any previous season it will be very warm.
We have had 2 warm and sunny weeks in March however its back to winter with fresh snow arriving this week. This new snow will ensure the conditions remain very good until the end of the season.
We took the chance to ski one of the most spectacular off piste routes a couple of weeks ago with our proffesional guide. Le Vallee de La Manche runs from the top of the Fornet area of Avoriaz down a superb back country route to a small village near Morzine. This has to be one of the best off piste routes around.
This weekend Joseph and the Chatel Ski Club are competing in a Super G in Morgins just 5 minutes from Chatel, the event will be opened by the mens Olympic Downhill Champion Didier Defago as Morgins is his home town.
So plenty of great skiing to be had in the next 3 - 4 weeks before we turn our attention to the summer season.
