“This winter, we ski”

Those were the words of the French Tourism Minister who has confirmed that the ski lifts will be open! So, for everyone asking the question “Will ski resorts be open this year?”, the answer is a huge YES!

After two long years of closed ski resorts, we are preparing for the biggest ski season in the history of the planet. If you are planning where to ski in 2021/2022, we have collated a list of ski season opening dates in all the biggest resorts across Europe and US.

We also have our own Roarsome Ski Chalet in Morzine which still has availability!

We can almost taste that mountain air. Winter is coming!
