Meribel Video Report : Thu 9th Dec 2010

Clear skies after the rain

Conditions in the 3 Vallées this week have varied from ‘fabulous’ to ‘awful’ to ‘fine’. Rain on Monday left the snowpack wet and heavy but a recent drop in temperature has improved matters considerably.

Meribel Video Report : Wed 14th Apr 2010

Meribel Video Report: 10th April 2008

From Plattieres 2, Meribel Valley

There’s still lots of snow in the Three Valleys, but mild weather and recent rain means the snow is good on the upper runs but slushy and wet lower down. Virtually the entire ski area is open and the slopes are quiet as the end of season nears.

Meribel Video Report: 11th February 2009

From Doron piste, Meribel

During the past week the Three Valleys have received two big dumps of snow, and skiing conditions are fabulous both off and on piste. Weather conditions, however, have been rather challenging with gales earlier in the week and Arctic temperatures now at altitude. Minus 22C for anyone?

Meribel Video Report: 12th December 2008

From Saulire Piste, Meribel

Caroline Sayer is back on her skis in the Three Valleys and enjoying a bonus week at the start of the 2008-09 season so much snow has fallen in the run up to the season that the Meribel and Courchevel lifts opened a week earlier than scheduled.

Meribel Video Report: 12th December 2013

Quiet, well groomed slopes under clear blue skies

It has been a good start to the season here in the Three Valleys. Although we don't have the huge snow falls we enjoyed over the last two winters all the pistes are complete and are very nice to ski.

Meribel Video Report: 14th March 2008

From Vizelle, Courchevel Valley

There is great snow on the upper runs after snowfalls earlier in the week, and just some slush developing on the lower slopes. Caroline has been enjoying the lovely powdery snow on piste around Courchevel’s la Saulire today, but reports that most of the off-piste is wind-blown or heavy.

Meribel Video Report: 15th October 2009

From Doron piste, Meribel

The end of season is drawing near, but the snow continues to be excellent for April with several snowfalls in the past week. Although the lower runs have spring snow, the upper runs are in great condition and those who braved bad weather earlier in the week were rewarded by powder off-piste.

Meribel Video Report: 17th January 2008

Meribel Video Report: 22nd February 2008

From Meribel Moonpark

Caroline is at Méribel’s Moonpark, pointing out you don’t need to be an expert to enjoy terrain parks. After 16 days of sunshine some fresh snow would be welcome, but the ski area is still virtually 100% open and there’s still plenty of snow on the pistes.

Meribel Video Report: 22nd January 2009

From Roc Merlet, Courchevel

After a long dry spell, the Three Valleys are set for a snowy spell. Snowfalls earlier in the week have given excellent snow both on and off-piste, and more snow is forecast for the next few days.

Meribel Video Report: 8th January 2009

From Venturon piste, Meribel

Low season has started and the Three Valley slopes are quiet once again. Bizarrely, the snow conditions have improved since last week, despite only the tiniest amount of fresh snow falling. Caroline tries to explain this paradox, and gives details of where the best snow is to be found (la Masse) and also the best weather (definitely not Val Thorens while the Foehn/Lombard wind is blowing).

Conditions don't get much better than this!

Pretty much the whole ski area is open this week, the snowparks, the liaisons between the 3 valley resort and they're all in great condition.

Pre-season ski training

Location: Les Houches

Every year, when the lifts open, I rush excitedly to the top of the hill, strap into my board and set off for the first run of the new season. The cold, clear air in my nose and the sun on my cheeks I can't keep the smile off my face as the fresh snow creaks under my board. The whole day lies ahead from first lifts to last call. Or it would if I wasn't sweating, panting and massaging the cramp out of my calves at the end of the first run.
