February is a great time to ski, usually the worst of the winter weather has passed so the days are a bit longer and warmer and the weather is a bit more predictable. It is also a good time for families to go as half-term falls in this month.

February is generally known as a good time for snow as there has been a few months build up of snow fall prior, so the slopes are well covered. It's also early enough in the season that the snow hasn't started to be melt, or be compacted. There is still often gentle snowfalls so fresh snow is still typical to see.

It varies from place to place but the European Alps are usually adequately covered with snow for the lifts to open from December- April. However, much depends on many different weather circumstances.

Most European and Canadian resorts are open from November to May - ideally the peak times to go would be December to April. However, if you are going in November - we would suggest Lapland/Finland as it is close to the Arctic Circle, if you are are going in May, we would suggest high-altitude resorts, ideally with Glaciers.
