Val d'Isere Video Report: 13th December 2013

Firm Pistes and clear skies for the Criterium this weekend

The pistes are firm at the moment and in the shaded areas quite hard and fast.

Beginners should stick to the sunny south facing slopes as this is where the softest snow can be found. Those who like fast carving will love these conditions but not as much as the skiers taking on La Face this weekend as part of the Criterium de la Premiere Neige. The French Slalom Team have been training all this weeke and we'll see this weekend if it has paid off.
