Taste of a fresh snow at Antagnod

Antagnod after snowfall.

Weather forecasts were right and we got new snow for two days in a row. When we arrived to Antagnod on Thursday the weather was sunny and nice but snow had already partially melted from the bottom of the mountains. But this changed almost overnight.


For the first snowfall day the amount of the snow was reasonable but the off piste routes were far from being ready for good skiing. Luckily all of the new snow was left on the slopes as is. During the slow season this means that all lines from blue to black are enjoyable to ride, even on regular slopes. And on the sides of the slopes there are always potential fresh snow lines to ride. During the day there was only a handful of skiers at the slopes, which made the experience even better. Of course weekends are more popular, but popularity during March means that you might see few other skiers. There is no rush.

The fun part was the the snowfall continued from Sunday night to Monday morning. And on Monday morning the whole resort was looking completely different. Nice blue sky and snow covering the mountaint from peaks to valleys. Great! Still during the total amount of new snow was between 20-30 centimeters, which is not plenty, but not enough for letting us ride on the open fields or actual off piste routes. Still both, Antagnod and Brusson ski are potential small resorts to visit. Both are especially worth to ski on a better snow conditions when all the off piste routes are accessible.
