It's possible to buy a property in the Alps without paying a mountain-high price. If you don't mind jumping on an extra ski-lift or two, you can pick up a snow home in a village that links to a bigger resort – close to a horizon-wide ski domain, and at more competitive prices than glitzier destinations.
"As a broad rule of thumb, your money goes twice as far in outlying resorts that are connected to larger ski areas," says Jeremy Rollason, head of Savills Ski.

No snow for Scotland's ski resorts

A mild winter creates problems for snow sports enthusiasts on Scotland's slopes.

The "beast from the east" blanketed the country in 2018.

One year later, those same ski resorts have been left without any snow.

Not sure, but I remember a couple of years ago, a drone fell in the middle of a slalom ski race, missing the skier by a second.
We always book just 1 or 2 days before departure, once we know the forecast and condition, and never had a problem tickets are still cheap and accommodation shouldn't be a problem, as you are going off peak.
