Chatel Skiing Opens December 12th, 2011
Chatel opened their lifts on Saturday for the first time this season, we were treated to great conditions above mid-station. The weather was good for the weekend with a fair amount of sunshine around, the pistes were in good condition and even the off-piste was very skiable and 90 cms covering of snow at the top.
Today we woke to a bit of rain in the village with snow higher up but very quickly the rain turned to tea-bag sized snowflakes which continued to fall until late afternoon. That should have dropped another 20-30 cms at the top of the mountain.
First guests will be arriving tomorrow and looks like they be in for lots more snow throughout the week.
