Although we haven't had any new snow for a while the pistes are so good at the moment and the weather is so sunny we haven't missed the powder here in Courchevel. That being said we are looking forward to the 20-30cm of new snow which is forecast this weekend .
The slopes are much quieter now after the madness of Christmas and New Year but to truly escape take to the air on a parapente or hanglider. If you want to keep your feet on the ground but get the most out of your skiing visit The Boot Lab in Courchevel 1650 for the latest kit.
