The Verbier winter ski season opening week has been EPIC.  The clever guys at TeleVerbier have been busy over the summer converting the Medran ski lifts into a time machine. TeleVerbier is no longer just a ski lift company, they are also master of the universe and have taken Verbier back to the 1980s. Climate change and reduced snowfall are something in the distant future and we are living the ski bum dream of powder and empty mountains.

This is the first autumn I have been remiss and not bothered to post my optimistic snow predictions. I had had thoughts of a Polar Vortex shifting due to the biggest recorded El Nino events in the Pacific Ocean, a massive abondance of blackberries in my garden this autumn and not forgetting some ..read more

Snowberries have arrived in Verbier. Verbier Extreme Weather Those that know me well, will know I always find reasons to predict the biggest winter ever is coming to Verbier. And why should this year be any different! It is going to be massive, more epic powder days than you can shake a ski pole at!
