Scotland has been excellent. I get the impression that many places have experienced below-average snowfalls.

Its been an odd season with the weather, but I have to say Alpe D'Huez early Jan offered me more powder than I have ever had on a trip before, and Serre Che 2 weeks ago had far more snow than this time last year. Plus, personally, my skiing has come on that bit more so for me its been my best season yet.
I haven't heard of anyone complaining of it being bad.

Where I go in Finland you can guarantee lots of snow from about Nov to May. Went mid Jan again this year and def lots more snow than same time last year.
My boarding improved, I was able to get down slopes that I struggled with last year. My X country skiing was a lot faster, I felt a lot fitter, despite not really doing much to stay fit. I managed to walk for miles (once I got some new boots). I was not so afraid on snowmobiles, I managed to drive a team of huskies for 32km, managed to reindeer sleigh. Actually took part in ice karting, instead of being a spectator. Also plucked up courage to do an excursion where you put a thermal suit and a flotation suit and helmet, lie down on a fast flowing river and float down with the current, the weather was -30.
So despite my 1 ski holiday this year I have come on in leaps and bounds. :lol:

It is cold especially in Jan, but warms up more about March time but with the right clothes its fine, just need more layers. Thermal gear is always provided if you need it on excursions. The kids would love it.
