Ski Holidays & AccommodationBOOK
August has started off well and the lean patch has passed with 20cms of new snow falling in the past 24 hour period. Its currently still snowing and is forecast to continue off and on until Saturday at this stage. The new snow is a welcomed sight and has transformed the mountain back into a winter wonderland and today there should be some awesome skiing and riding. With 2 months left in the season we hope you will make the most of the new snow – August is normally a good snow month and with some luck there will be further snowfalls on the way to keep the slopes pristine.
Last Saturday we hosted the Dynastar Chill Gromfest and 20 groms had a great time competing in this fun downhill race. Swiss National day was celebrated last Saturday night by members and guests and ski weekers on Fine Wine Week again celebrated Swiss National Day (on the actual day – 1 August) last night with our Swiss Instructors.
Over the next few weekends we have a number of events running which include All Schools Race Practice Day (this coming Sunday), Secondary Schools Champs, Club Champs and Primary & Intermediate Champs. August is going to be busy and for further event info please click here.
