Big White & Street Downhill

The Big White will be help Saturday and Sunday morning in 2 runs, maximum 100 riders Saturday morning, the first half will be qualified for Sunday morning’s finale. No worries the last 50 who didn’t qualified on Saturday will still be able to go up on Sunday morning and ride down just for Big White in Verbierpleasure, they’ll leave 5 minutes later and their time won’t be counted… Same start as last year from Les Attelas (2700m) but double the length arriving on the central square (1500m) for a total of 1200m altitude drop ! On snow of course but also dirt and cement on the final stretch. The route and the first half are the same as last year, and for the second half we’ll pass trough Les Combles, then Clambins, and take it home down Médran street.

Meribel lifts open EARLY!!!!

Thanks to a massive dump of snow over the weekend, Méribel’s two lift
companies have agreed to start running lifts on December 6th - the earlier
of the two possible resort opening dates.

With 70cm of snow on the upper runs, 45cm in the resort, and more snow
being created by snowcanons, conditions look very good already. More snow
is forecast from Sunday onwards raising hopes that we will enjoy the same
excellent snow conditions as last December.

The provisional list of Méribel valley lift opening dates is as follows:
