Is it likely it will snow at the Mont Dore in France by the end of Dec.? When do the ski slopes open there?

Looks like it has already started snowing out there (see web site link in sources below).\nSlopes usually open late November I believe. Couldn't actually find that info on the Web.\nGood luck. Looks a nice resort.

Davos is a pretty good resort, linked reasonably well with Klosters.  It's got a far range of skiing/boarding available so would suit pretty much any ability.  There can be some really good powder too!  A couple of things I'd say though - 1) The linking between runs is not fantastic - you may find yourself taking your foot out of the binding and pushing far more than you'd like. 2) It's very expensive for eating/drinking out/

The temp has to be 32 F. or below for it to snow. Look at the weather to find out the chances of it snowing.

Whistler/Blackcomb will still be open the last week of April. I hear it's about a 2 hour drive from the city (Vancouver), and it's an awesome place to ski!

I know, it is very weird. Here, in October, it snowed, but in November it is around 50 degrees.\n\nI once saw this bookmark when I was younger and it said that in the future it would be cold in July and hot in December. I believe it will be right...

Don't worry about a thing.  I skied in the East and the West (and Europe) and you'll find the skiing in the West is far superior.  I brought my skis east one season and never dragged them out there again.\n\nYour biggest danger is that once you've "tasted" western skiing you'll never ski in the East again.  If you fall, it's a soft fall.  You may freak out, however, since it's so much fun!\n\nThat said, you should be prepared for lots of powder -- I'm in Aspen and we had three feet of snow over the last few days -- VERY unusual.  \n\nPowder is basically skiing in three dimensions, not just two.  It takes a bit of extra balance -- don't lean back.  The newer shaped skis are very helpful in all conditions including powder and make everything easy to ski.  Edges are not that important and just take it easy (it's not eastern hard pack).  Also, while you're used to cold, we are expecting some cold here so bring warm clothes -- you can always shed them.  Finally, remember to zip up all your pockets or you'll find them full of snow!\n\nAs for moguls, when there is enough snow you won't find any.  As for the steeps, you'll need them in order to move if the snow is deep enough.\n\nIf you're looking for some choices in terms of where you'll find the best snow, check www.onthesnow.com, www.skicentral.com or www.ski.com for snow conditions and other information about the resorts. \n\nHave a great time!

The Old Farmer's Almanac says your mid-December will be snowier than usual, and Christmas will be one of this winter's coldest periods. Check out their long-range forecast here:\nhttp://www.almanac.com/weatherforecast/us/2

Yes, I've already been twice this season. Six of our 12 ski resorts have already opened in the past month. The other 6 are opening this week.

just a superstition.\n\nhow would it be possible; somewhere ealse nearby - a higher elevatino or a bit to the north - will invariably have had snow before you (thus your snow wasn't "first" of the season).

The generally accepted Season of Winter commences on 12/21 or the Winter Solstice and ends roughly 3 months later or 3/21 or the spring equinox - Depending on where you live (hemispherically speaking).  This is for a northern hemisphere location.  For souther hemisphere it would be 6/21 through 9/21 for the winter season.

Heard it wasn't very good, unless you have never been. We are going to Cataloochee Ski Resort in Maggie Valley, which is about 2.5 hours from Atlanta. If you are not going before the end of Feb. I will let you know how it was. Just got back from Breckenridge last month. Unbelievable! My first ski trip. I am hooked! Trying somewhere close to let our kids try it out. leahkoto@yahoo.com P.S. I don't think Gatlinburg gets much snow.

Dear KlaireG,\n\nAndorra is one magical place, Arinsal, Andorra La Vella, just go there, I have really happy memories of my trips there,  those mind boggling really steep ski slopes are the business ! The road out of Arinsal to Pepinguion in France is amazing, ski slopes all the way!  go for it. Enjoy yourself

Ebbetts Pass does not stay open in the winter. In fact it is closed right now. We haven't had snow in a bit and if it all melts out then it may open again but I wouldn't count on it. It is groomed in the winter and is accessible for snowmobiling, snow shoeing and cross country skiing but no cars.\n\nEDIT: It opened up again on Tuesday Nov. 21 but as soon as the snow hits, it'll close for the winter.
