Hi there!

I'm planning to ski in Europe in the second week of December. Since it's still the begining of the season, I'm afraid about snow conditions.

So, I'd like a tip from you guys to minimize the chance of ski failure! What are the ski resorts that normally have good snow?

Thanks in advance!

Keep an eye on weather threads and book as late as you can for best snow or choose somewhere high on or near a glacier. There are several resorts in Austria already open at least in part, I think there is a thread about this in ski news maybe? I've never skied that early so I'm sure others will come along and give you actual resorts soon.

I've skied that week loads of times, either Val D'Isere or Tignes. Never had a problem with to little snow.

I agree with Andy,

Never an issue with Tignes that time of year, it can snow an awful lot at that time... just be aware.....

Amazing deep powder or lift closures

Usually ski in early December, can't recall having too little snow, most often it's too much 8)

Check resort opening dates carefully before booking :D

Any idea if San martino di castrozza ski resort in Italy is opened by 13 Dec 2012?
I am particularly concern if the nursery slopes are in operation by then as my 7 year old would like to learn skiing for the first time!
Appreciate some feedbacks soonest. Thanks a million.
