From ‘Snow'vember to ‘Deep'cember
About a quarter of the major ski resorts around the world have now opened with the first big wave of openings last weekend. The numbers will now grow rapidly with about a third more following on each of the next two weekends, and almost all of the remainder on 18th December.
The good news is that conditions are great in most of Europe and North America. There are huge snowfalls in the Alps on Wednesday 1st December alone. In the Alps falls of up to a meter in seven days have been reported, with low temperatures bringing more snow and good snowmaking conditions. It's a similar story in Western North America still with several resorts reporting a foot of new snow in 24 hours. In Scotland four out of five centers will be open this weekend and it's snowy in the Pyrenees, too.
