Snowgenius is in Megeve for the weekend, and it is hot! It’s 15 deg C in the town, and even on the mountain it doesn’t get much below 10 deg C. But don’t despair, the skiing is still actually quite good. They’ve done a good job of looking after the pistes, but you need to …

Skiing in Utah
Snowgenius is in Utah! We’ve been having a great trip sampling the ski resorts in the Wasatch Range – so far, we’ve clocked up Snowbird, Alta, Solitude and Deer Valley, and we’ve just moved to Park City where we’ve got 3 more days of skiing. We’ve been very lucky with the conditions – we arrived …

Snow arrives for the West of USA
After an epic time last season, much of the west of the USA has had a terrible start to the 2011/2012 season, with an exceptionally dry December and (so far) January leading to a snowpack less than half the average depth for this time of year. To add insult to the injury, at the same …

Morzine – Let It Rain, Let It Rain, Let it Rain!
snowgenius is in Morzine for some New Year skiing, hoping to capitalise on some of the tremendous snow that Europe has been receiving. Unfortunately whilst the snow last week was reportedly excellent, by the time we arrived on the 31st December the temperatures were above freezing and any precipitation was falling as rain. Yesterday there …

Winter Park update…
So finally it snowed here in Winter Park! Up on the hill it snowed all through the day yesterday, and carried on into the night. Sadly it wasn’t several feet of phat powder, but the three inches that fell made a real difference to the quality of the pistes. Several new runs have been opened …

Winter Park update…
The good news is that there is snow. The bad news is that much of it is man made, and there isn’t enough of it. The only part of the mountain open is Winter Park itself. Mary Jane, Parsenn Bowl, Vasquez Cirque and Vasquez Ridge are all closed for lack of the white stuff. This …

If you’re going to Colorado…
…and need a transfer to/from Denver airport, I’ve used Homes James a few times and they’ve always been very reliable and helpful. Essentially it’s a shuttle bus service which ferries customers in minibuses direct to their hotel from Denver airport. The downside is that if you happen to be the last destination on the bus …
