Competitive Kate's guide to the mountains
Great news, Europe is having amazing snowfalls this winter (yay); some of the best for a few years. Saas Fee, Chamonix, Zermatt and Argentiere have over 300cm of snow on the upper slopes and most of the on piste runs throughout France are rated as excellent. The lower slopes in Bankso already have over 215cm of snow and most of the ski lifts are open.
All this snow does come at price though; it is blinkin' cold, especially higher up the slopes at the moment. I’ve just come back from a few days in Chamonix - perfect as it is only an hour from Geneva - the slopes were very quiet so no wasting time queueing either. The temperature (with wind chill) was dipping as low as minus 30 so you need to be prepared : take plenty of layers with you, invest in some good quality mitts to keep your fingers warm and take care to protect your neck properly (an old rugby scarf just won’t do). Make sure that your hair is perfectly dry before you venture outside and that you have located a fantastic bar to drink some vin chaud and defrost. The weather is making for even better après ski as the bars are fuller, earlier. Try and get to the slopes midweek if possible as the great snow is pulling more and more weekend breakers to the mountains.

Kate is our resident ski angel and is unbelievably competitive. Never ever ever ever ask to join her training groups and if you see her coming down the mountain then get out of her way quickly or you will be sorry. She also loves The Killers, Kings of Leon and Chris Hoy.
