Courchevel snow report 7 March 2016

It is fair to say that conditions in Courchevel are quite exceptional right now. At the end of last week several successive snowfalls, with a brief milder spell inbetween gave amazing conditions in the trees, while the more exposed slopes were definitely a risky proposition.

Now we have had a cool, clear weekend, the snowpack is starting to stabilise, and there is good snow to be skied on just about every aspect. Sunny slopes are starting to show a little surface crust, but with air temperatures staying very cold this is currently no problem!

For day 1 of this year's Steep Vanoise course the teams were treated to an absolute feast of great snow...
