Summer skiing

Find the glaciers in the northern hemisphere and you can still get some summer skiing in, best advice is to ski in the mornings where the snow will be in better condition, for the afternoon enjoy some of the scenery and mountains it would be a wasted opportunity not too.
So where is good at the moment?  These snow depths are at the top of the mountain.
Presena Glacier has 450cm and last snowed on 6th May
Dachstein Glacier has 280cm and last snowed on 23rd May
Kaprun and Zermatt both with about 170cm and 190cm respectively and forecast to snow this week

And good at top and bottom is Timberline with 373cm at the top and bottom!

Summer skiing in the Northern hemisphere

With the southern hemisphere resorts not open yet, there are still some place to ski in Europe and North America.  The main thing to look for are the resorts with glaciers and to mention a couple where late season skiing and summer skiing can be available, (please always check before booking somewhere, remember we are always reliant on the weather in this sport)
Some places to keep an eye on in Europe are Zermatt in Switzerland with 5 summer ski lifts, the Presena Glacier in Italy and the Stubai Glacier in Austria.  Unfortunately one of my favourite places to ski at Tignes is now closed although it does have a glacier.
In North America the Blackcomb glacier at Whistler and Timberline at Oregon.
Good luck and enjoy the summer skiing in Europe.

End of season parties

For the northern hemisphere most skiing is coming to the end of the season sadly.  It has been a great season and some great conditions, for the high resorts with glaciers there will still be some skiing, even summer skiing for some lucky people.  One thing is evident is all the end of season parties that seem to get arranged and a good excuse to have that apres ski feel even if you are not on the slopes!
So enjoy the end of the season and I am going to start looking into southern hemisphere skiing, can't wait.
