Indeed it will not. However, when you only have one trip to the snow in a year it is a bummer to get an unwanted summer vacation!

Save your money. Unless there is a SUBSTANTIAL dump you will be a slush puppy in the sun.

Brooksy, keep us updated please. Sadly, my last visit to Sauze was spolit by poor conditions AND they moved it around at night to vary the runs. If yoou took a left at that tree yesterday.......grass today and the snow has been used to top up elsewhere! Mind you that was 1983.
I hope things improve, as it stands it looks like a re-run of the rubbish experienced last year in Paradiski. Wet suit and snorkel are in my bags as are a lot of euro for beer as that would appear to be the only thing going well at the moment. Even the french resorts have elephant snot on the piste. 3 metres is no good if the top 300mm is slush. Sauze seems to have about 200mm of slush and rubble. Oh well, hired skis here we come and swallow the £30 carriage ri..... charge. Still, it MIGHT snow and then the wet suit can be an insulation layer. Mind you then you will need crampons for the 80km hike to the lifts..... |

Via Lattea.
Sauze I have not gone yet, but the reports seem to be a work of fiction. A wet suit would appear to be appropriate at the moment. |

Well, where do I begin (to quote the line from a famous song lyric)
Not often prone to expressing negativity but after my latest snow update I am a) furious b) incredulous and c) disappointed Furious because the posted report is apparently a work of fiction at worst or at best has not been updated for weeks. Incredulous that J2Ski would freely supply information that at best is biased in favour of the resort, or at worst an invention to encourage people to last minute book at a resort with spare beds but no/poor snow. :evil: :( Disappointed in that it appears to be near impossible to get accurate reports of snow conditions in a given resort. For many years I had to travel at peak times and therfore I had to accept high prices and the snow conditions that nature threw at me. I am now in a lucky position of being able to go when I want ot and when conditions are at their best. Being told that my chosen resort is reporting 'powder' when the temps in the alps have been sky high for almost a week and there has been no snow in the area fot a fortnight is galling. By all means give us a snow report update but for goodness sake make it accurate! |
