So, ordinarily at this moment of your ski season you’ll have survived the ski crowds over British and German half term week and the ski weather will be turning in your favour…
But with no travel allowed and restaurants not open, it wouldn’t have looked like this. You’ll have said “bye bye” to the Dutch skiers and their weird food…
But as they weren’t allowed out either, your cupboards will be bare. This week, ski weather forecasts show that the snow has still been falling across the Alps…

The rest of us can only dream. This week, a year ago, is the week when many European ski resorts closed for the first COVID-lockdown, and sent their guests home. No one would have predicted that a whole year would go by without needing to wax your skis. I’m sure, that at some point, we’ve all dreamed of living in a ski resort, but as it was the only way to get a ski fix this year, it certainly featured in our dreams more often.
