VIP SKI is opening a flagship property in the resort for this season, Bear Lodge. With heavy snow falling and superb early season conditions we have asked the VIP SKI’s Gareth Crump to update us from the resort.
“I’m sitting on a chair lift above Arc1950 and the snow is amazing – powder, powder, powder,” said Gareth.
“There is about 30cm of powder down in the valley so you can only image what conditions are like on the slopes.
“It’s a perfect opening day with not many people out on the slopes.”
“The weather has cheered up and we have some gorgeous sunny spells.”

There are covid-19 restrictions in place with a health pass needed to use the ski lifts.
Members of Gareth’s group were checked by the lift staff.
