 Poster: A snowHead
|
looking at maybe Warren Smith SA first week Jan, but looked at the snow history for verbier and its scarily rubbish. Seems you can get away with it if you are off piste, but most of the time i wont be - anyone been there over a few years so have a feel for the reality?
cheers

bitoffluff, in the last 6 years January has been fairly dry for snowfall. However by January the whole resort is skiable. January is the perfect time to be doing a W(a)SSA course, even if the snow is "less than average" you're doing drills all day anyway. You don't want to be doing a course like this in Feb or March when you can be putting your new skills to test in lovely deep snow.

Not quite fella. Maybe the first morning and the odd hour later on. But most of the time you are looking for the

To me, the course is a good mix of tuition and guiding.

I've joined the first week in Jan course with Wozza for the last three years. Last year we were putting fresh tracks down the front and back faces of Mt Gele, Stairway and Highway so don't worry about doing drills all day. If you don't know Verbier very well then it's an excellent intro to some of the more interesting terrain. Early season snow can be a bit sketchy, but you'll be fine on the course
