Ski areas in The Pyrenees and the Southwestern Alps are celebrating after a big snowfall has brought deep cover to the region. Whilst large parts of the alps have not had any snow for three weeks and some not since November, this is the second successive week that a front has brought fresh snow to the continent's southwest corner, this time heavier than last. With snow still falling, ski areas in the Pyrenees have reported up to 60cm (two feet) of snow so far and those in the southern French A

Another reviewer couldn’t be further from the truth. The manager at Porters goes out of his way to help clients and lifts are all not (did you mean to include 'not', ed?) closed when the weather conditions make it unsafe for them to operate - and this information is communicated on their website in advance. If Mt Hutt is closed you can bet Porters will be open due to the different orientation of the slopes. No queues at Porters and extremely friendly staff. Closest skifield to Christchurch, best value for money and in my opinion some of the best off-piste runs in the area.
