North Tahoe Straddling the state line between Nevada and California, the sublime Lake Tahoe has 12 diverse resorts within easy reach.
Graubünden Switzerland is about the same size as Wales, and in the east of the country the canton (county) of Graubünden is the largest, occupying about a sixth of all Swiss territory.
East is Eden America’s East Coast classic tends to get overlooked by UK travellers. But Jon Secrett’s road trip through Vermont discovered cross-country heaven.  
The other side Admittedly it can’t rival the West for that big-mountain experience, it doesn't try. But, says Graeme Spratley, the small resorts and bewitching scenery of New England make a road trip here a true American original.

Revel in Revelstoke

Revelstoke_mainRevelstoke, USA

Patrick Thorne was wary about the hype surrounding this latest addition to the super league of North American destinations but was quickly won over by the authentic charm of the existing town and the sheer gob-smacking quality of the skiing…

Skiing in the Indian Himalayas

Indus-Ski-HimalayaGoodness gracious ski

Arctic conditions (indoors), avalanche danger, no pistes and the total absence of après as we know it didn’t stop James Wallman getting high in the Indian Himalayas.

Destination of the month

Meribel
Lying at the heart of the massive Three Valleys ski area, Méribel is one of the most popular resorts in the Alps. It has 200 lifts and 600km of well groomed pistes and is ideal for intermediates – but like all the big resorts, caters for the less experienced extremely well. Boarders  and free skiers have two parks and access to five more in the other Three Valleys resorts. The main village kept a rustic chalet feel during the building boom of the Seventies and many of the traditional buildings have been recently refurbished to the highest standards. The resorts is famous for its high spirited après scene.

Honest Snow Reports

  • Les Arcs/La Plagne
    Made a flying visit to Les Arcs yesterday, ooh it wa sooo cold, hence the 'flying' bit.The view from the top of the Aguille Rouge was as stunning as ever on a beautiful clear day. The ridge run was in supurb condition and very quiet. The rest of resort seemed fairly busy tho' there appeared to be more people than. in La Plagne, generally the snow on piste was great but off piste was wind blown and somewhat 'bullet proof'!! Today in LP has been a suprisingly ok day and not as cold as late. We are...
  • Serre Chevalier
    The occasional dusting of new snow over the last few days. Nothing to make a massive difference. The conditions on-piste are hard and fast. Off-piste the snow is developing a typically seasonal crusty layer. Time to hit the park until it snows again!
  • Berthoud Pass, Colorado
    Video of my Newfoundland dog launching a 4 meter cliff at Berthoud Pass . Fast Forward to 1:20. Notice how I both CLAIM & AFTERBANG it after she sticks the 'superman' huck.
  • St Anton
    Effing cold here today. -20C around most of the mountain - more, by the time you take into account the windchill. Pistes in good shape though and looking good for the Natives Big Air on Thursday.
  • Winter Park, Colorado
    4.5 inches overnight. Very warm temperatures this past Thursday-Sunday cooked everything on a South/SW/SE aspect. Those runs will be frozen, the proverbial 'dust on crust'. Anything North facing is still great, soft & carvable.
  • Serre Chevalier
    Light snow today. The temperature has dropped way down over the last few days. The wind has also reached its highest force since the beginning of the season. A few of the lifts have been slowed down for safety reasons. Brighter outlook for tomorrow but the rest of the week is looking fairly bleak. On a brighter note, the holidays are finally over, no more queues!
  • Alpe D'Huez
    Light snowfall at the moment and expected through the night, but bitterly cold. Wind in the last few days has blown a lot of snow off the pistes leaving lots of ice to navigate, but heavy snow forecast later in the week, and fingers crossed it'll be followed by some sun at last.
