Verbier (Swiss Alps)
7th January: Easy flight Southend to Genva and straightforward 2 hour transfer to resort. Staying with my brother Jon at Chalet-hotel Verbiers which is managed by Inghams. Snow reports were not good prior to our arrival with no fresh snow since 20th November and hard-packed pistes.
8th January: Woke to find it snowing and when we got to the slopes the little fresh snow and the snow-making facilities here made the on-piste skiing pretty good. We stayed in Medran (1532m) - Mont-Fort (3330m) area. Most of the runs are fairly short here which could prove a bit limiting, but we will explore further afield tomorrow.
