December - too early, snow too unreliable
January - too cold and miserable and very short days
February - oh no way, school holidays
March - getting warm, snow going fast. Ice and slush only
April - sunny days, green pastures, runs closed .......
:mrgreen:
Just a follow on from never skiing in March and April topic :thumbup:

We have been so lucky this ski season - fantastic pre-Christmas week in the 3 Valleys, superb first week of January in Obergurgl and then first week of March in Serre Chevalier.
We also backed the first and second in the National last Saturday
:D :D :D

I've skied in the following months:
December - went to Andorra on a freebie, struggled for snow, but thats par for the course over there whatever time of year ;-)
January - cold and sunny, every time I've been
February - never not had good snow, even in Sauze when people were sunbathing
March - cold nights, longer days, great month to ski from experience
April - dumped it big style in Verbier on my £260 chalet holiday
Golden rule - pick the right resort at the right altitude, simples, and stop chuffing moaning about it.

On the upside i can recommend June...
Sahara desert is great for a bit of off piste dune skiing - warm but not to hot and cool nights as its the desert...that walk back up to the top of the dune is bit of a killer though!!!:-)

Sand doesn't come off as easily as snow when you fall.

March - Whistler - Is there such a thing as too much snow? Awesomeness :)
Late Dec \ Early Jan - Val d'Isere - A bit of snow not much even up top, good holiday though :)
