Where’s all the snow this year? In Europe!

Posted on January 3rd, 2012 by craig | 1 response
Every season in Europe for the past ten years we have been hearing about record snow falls across the pond. Well now it’s finally our turn! The season started out with a panic as resorts were pushing back opening dates and it was looking like a similar winter to last year. How wrong were we! It’s January now and the snow keeps falling. We have now received more snow in the last few weeks than the whole of last season combined. So now it’s time to dust off those fat skis and break out the snorkel because finally the snow is here!!

Here’s a movie and some pictures of the last few weeks in Chamonix. In the movie are myself, Jeremy Bogen, and Bozz Greeve: white gold the movie!! from craig widdicombe on Vimeo.

    This is my 3rd season to ski Europe and unlike the last two, this year is great.  I just returned from my second weekend in Switzerland and will headed to the Trois Vallees in March and maybe the big end of year party in Ischgl.
