In sharp contrast to last year, the skiing season has begun in the Alps with huge accumulations, putting a smile on all those who love to slide

“Oodles of snow”, is how France Montagnes Marketing & Press Officer for Ireland (also covering the UK) Matt Carr described the meteorological phenomenon that resulted in up to 120cm of snow in parts of the alps over the last week or so.

“After a largely warm and dry few weeks, temperatures plummeted and up to 120 centimetres of white fluff has been deposited on the mountains across France over the weekend,” he said in a press release last week, after which even more snow fell.

“Clearly this is marvellous for skiers, snowboarders and other miscellaneous mountain enthusiasts, and bodes well for the start of the ski season, which is already upon us in France.
