Sun & powder as season 2019/20 starts in Alpe d'Huez
Fantastic conditions for the season opening
It's been snowing heavily throughout November, so much so that the lifts in Alpe d'Huez opened early for a pre-season taster on the weekend of November 22nd-23rd. Last Saturday, November 30th, was the official winter opening, and what a day it was!
The sun was shining and the slopes were filled with fluffly, powdery snow. This past couple of days, the slopes have been really quiet and, with another dump falling on Sunday, there was great snow cover all the way down into resort.
The forecast for the rest of the week is for more sunshine, with perhaps a bit more snow next week.
