It’s looking good…

Today could mark the start of some unsettled weather in the Southern Alps. We’re expecting a system to move over Sauze d’Oulx today that should bring snow. The only question is at what altitude?

From what I can gather from online predictions, the rain/snow limit will be initially around 2000mts before dropping to between 1000 and 1500mts this evening. Saturday looks like it could be clear only for the snow to make a welcome return on Sunday.

The next 7 days is predicted to bring a cocktail of conditions that, all things being equal, should bring us quite a lot of snow. We have a southern stau and a northern foehn predicted. In a nutshell that’s good for resorts on the south side of the Alps, like Sauze.

Hopefully we could see around half a metre of snow over the coming days which would be very nice indeed on top of the snow we received from the earlier storm at the beginning of November.

All in all, things are looking a damn site better than they were this time last year! The lifts are due to start rolling on the 8th December and it’s looking like we’ll have great conditions for the opening of the 2016/17 season.

Rest assured I’ll be doing a video snow report on that first day so if you haven’t already, please subscribe to my Youtube channel to ensure you get the low down straight from the slopes.

Here’s to a great season and hopefully see you on the mountain!

What our customers say

01 / 05

The transfers we booked were professional and hassle free notwithstanding our late arrival. For the return we were greeted on time with great service. The ski hire was also of excellent quality.

A. McCormick

Sauzeonline provide great value ski and snowboard hire from a selection of shops in good locations throughout the town – so we were able to find shops suitable for all our group (not all of whom were staying in the same place). James was also incredibly helpful in resolving an issue one of our group had with his snowboard hire [and arranged a full refund]. We would definitely recommend Sauzeonline both in terms of excellent value and service.

B. Hughes

Great service from James prior to arriving. Really went above and beyond. The rental shop was ideally situated at the bottom of the lift. Can't wait to return!

S. Warhurst

Easy to use website and good prices. James was very helpful on the phone. Ski hire shop provided good and rapid service

G. Humphries

We are a family of 6 and James and Sinead at Sauzeonline.com were brilliant in organising skis, lessons and restaurants. Really helpful and friendly - a pleasure to deal with. We plan to come back next year using Sauzeonline for everything.
