Chamonix Video Report: 31st October 2008

Snow Snow Snow!!!!

This week’s report comes after a full day of snow fall!! There was a significant dump yesterday and the snow fell all the way down into town transforming Chamonix into a winter wonderland.

There is ten centimetres in town itself and up to sixty centimetres up on the hill. Snowballs have already been thrown and snowmen are under construction as I type. It might be a little early to call it “The Greatest Winter Ever!” but it is a good sign for the approaching season.

Halloween is this weekend and there are loads of parties in the various bars and clubs around town so wrap up warm and have a wee celebration this weekend because there is plenty to get excited about.

Go to Chamonix Event Videos to see more about the Ski Show and the Mondial Ski/Snowboard weekends.
