Let it snow! Winter really is coming folks. Davos the Swiss resort opened lifts and one piste — the earliest it has ever done so. Other resorts are opening, too, from Kitzbühel in Austria to Les 2 Alpes in France and, last Thursday, Arapahoe Basin and Loveland in Colorado.
For those of you who like to keep an eye on the weather, this weekend also heralded the start of our regular snow reports.
Serre Chevalier is one of the first Alpine resorts to move completely away from measuring pistes in km to measuring them in hectares .
