 Poster: A snowHead

as we are all aware theres not much snow but the t/o are offering some deep discounts for mid to late jan, no snow forecast for what looks like into the new year at least wk2 if it snows it will book up fast so is it worth the risk im thinking it might be . Already booked march but the chance of a cheap week is tempting, someone out there will know has there been a year with no snow in jan

Not worth the risk, even in good years there are good discounts in Jan, I'd rather wait and have to pay another £100 than have a holiday wasted with no snow.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I think in 89/90 there was no snow until February but even last year the snow cover was very poor until the second half of Jan. 2011 wasn't great either. Depends how high you go I suppose, and where, but if you are talking about the Alps, not great.
This is Val Thorens at 3000+ meters in 2011 at the end of the season
hmmmm black snow mixed with gravel, lovely.
Personally, given the long range forecast is for a warm Jan and Feb before a return to more seasonal weather in March, I'd wait. Book an extra week in March maybe. There probably won't be much in the way of snow depths now so the season will be largely over by early April, like last year.

@ski for fun, first week of Jan in Espace Killy might just about still be OK. Otherwise only somewhere with plenty alternative activities and entertainment to keep you happy. That view based on a week just coming to an end in Paradiski and Espace Killy.

As you say, there's snow forecast for early Jan so conditions should be great (they better be as I'm off to Austria on the 16th). You might be kicking yourself for not booking. Why not give it a day or two until the forecast firms up then book?
