AvalancheClarity makes Météo-France's daily avalanche bulletins accessible to non-French speakers for the first time, translating them into English, German, Dutch, Italian, Swedish, Danish, and Polish. This is crucial for international visitors who ski the French Alps, as the bulletins contain essential safety information that was previously inaccessible due to language barriers.

Colorado has experienced a challenging ski season, characterized by snowpacks significantly below average and temperatures that are much higher than typical for this time of year.

The Zlatibor Gold Gondola in Serbia is the longest in the world, stretching 5.6 miles long, with 72 10-seat gondola cabins transporting up to 800 passengers per hour.

Isaac Kaufman is earning quite a reputation for epic airs and gnarly flips, many of which take place at his home mountain of Palisades Tahoe.

Both avid and casual skiers know that winter requires preparation. If you want to ski as many days as possible, you must have a game plan. After all, skiing is an expensive sport, so budget is typically one of the top considerations. But before you book flights, hotels, and lift tickets, or decide if you want to invest in an Epic Pass or Ikon Pass, you'll need to identify which ski resorts you want to explore over the course of a few months.

In Vermont, Stowe Resort will host its 70th Annual Sunrise Service on April 5. Guests can celebrate Easter morning with a truly special nondenominational sunrise service on top of Vermont's highest peak, co-hosted with the Stowe Community Church. This long-standing tradition is open to all.

The sport originated thousands of years ago in Europe by necessity when hunters used long skis to travel and explore over mountain passes, placing animal skins on the bottoms of their skis for traction when climbing. Military units used similar gear to patrol the Alps in the late 1800s, sometimes engaging in speed competitions, which were likely the prototypes for the format of the Olympic skimo debut this February.

If you've never driven into Banff, it's a sensory overload. Razor-edged peaks reminiscent of the Italian Dolomites, glacier-carved valleys that echo Yosemite, and a constant play of light and shadow that shifts with every bend in the road. Photos don't do it justice.

While most are familiar with the world-class Mont Tremblant, the route there is dotted with independent resorts-each with a distinct vibe-that light up the Laurentians ( Les Laurentides ) like constellations against an ancient sky. These ranges offer something different than towering peaks: intimate terrain steeped in character. They tease the eye, spark the imagination, and possess a certain magic for producing champion skiers and snowboarders. Their ancient geology creates a singular landscape of rolling, forested hills and tight tree runs that feel worlds away from the mega-resorts.

The Quebec resort, located northeast of Quebec City along the St. Lawrence River, confirmed Monday that it would shut down operations for the remainder of the winter after failing to reach a new collective agreement with roughly 300 unionized employees, according to The Canadian Press. Workers represented by the Syndicat des travailleuses et travailleurs du Massif, affiliated with the CSN, have been on an unlimited general strike since January 2.

Trip ReportWhen I looked at the piste map of Les 3 Vallées in the French Alps for the first time, it was hard for me to feel unimpressed. Billed as the largest interconnected ski area in the world, this massive merging of three major adjacent ski resorts-CourchevelMéribel, and Val Thorens-actually encompasses four lesser ski areas as well, and all together, it's so stupendous that it borders on overwhelming.

Report from February 12, 2026 Deep. Not much else needs to be said. Oh, and 5/5 (Extreme) avalanche danger.
