It's been a very strange February with almost spring-like conditions. The bottom of the valley is green but the pistes are kept in good condition, mainly thanks to the flurries of snow we've been getting regularly.

Temperatures have been unusually warm but winter is set to return this week, with the temps dropping and more snow on its way, starting on Tuesday night, perfect to freshen up the pistes and keep the riding fun.
