A mixed bag

We’ve had a really great start to the 2017/18 season and as the year comes to an end we have yet another weather system hitting us promising a decent amount of snow. Since doing the video snow report yesterday however the outlook has changed slightly with a warm front due to arrive sometime today (Saturday).

The snow started to fall yesterday afternoon and as I type this (09:45 Saturday morning) it is still snowing very nicely. The warm front is due to arrive around lunch time bringing with it not only humid air but also high winds. This humid air will push the freezing level up to around 2000mts or above which could result in rain falling in the village.

It’s not all bad news though as there is another cold front already heading towards the alps and is due to be over the area by the end of Sunday. The outlook for the start of the new year is a bit mixed as cold fronts are followed by warm fronts in quick succession.

Currently in the forecast we have snow on the 1st and 2nd January before the temperatures increase on the 3rd which could see wet snow/rain in the village only for the temperature to drop again on the 4th resulting in snow.

The long term forecast is for continued unsettled weather into the second week of January. At the moment the forecast is showing cold temperatures so hopefully that’ll be the case and we’ll get more snow, fingers crossed.

I’ll keep you updated as always every Friday with the video snow report direct from the slopes so stay tuned.

What our customers say

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.

Used Sauzeonline for our airport transfer and ski hire. The service they provided was excellent. Could not have been more helpful replying to many emails due to questions on travel due to Covid. The transfer service was fantastic and the hire shop very helpful. Thankyou for making our holiday special.

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.

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.
