More than 30 ski resorts and partners in the French Alps are taking part in the 2018 Skiing into Spring initiative, now in its’ fourth year. After record beating snowfalls in December and January, it looks like this year, late season skiing will be everything skiers hope for.

Riding out the storm
Like all skiers, our pulses quicken when the snow begins to fall, but you can have too much of a good thing. Dont believe me? Try skiing in near-blizzard conditions, when you can’t read the surface of the piste you’re negotiating, thick mists have blotted out even long-familiar features and the wind is strengthening by the minute. When you get assailed by all three, then it’s time to do the unthinkable and head back down the mountain to sit out the storm.

Puy Saint-Vincent: don’t tell everyone…
We decided to head over to the Southern French Alps, to discover just what most mainstream skiers might be missing. Great snowfalls, clear blue skies and unpressured pistes were just some of the things which bowled us over and convinced us that we’d stumbled upon an area which deserves to be much better known.

Oz-en-Oisans: a heart of pure snow…
There’s something very special about ski resorts through which you can ski, rather than drive. In Oz-en-Oisans the village is blissfully uncluttered and free to do what it does best: look good and provide a very pleasant base for skiers keen to explore the huge ski area around Alpe d’Huez.
