FAQ's for skiing holidays in February
Why is it good to ski in February? - 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.
What are the snow conditions in February? - 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.
