We hope you have had a good summer and that your thoughts are now on the coming ski season. Our first "newsletter" is arriving at the same time as the first snow here in the mountains. Over the last few days, Val d’Isère has put on its white coat and it is beginning to feel like winter here.
The Espace Killy is due to open on November 29th, but the Grande Motte ski area is already open and thanks to some significant snowfalls last week, the conditions are excellent.
Keep a regular eye on the changing snow conditions with our webcam .

SKIING IN NOVEMBER
 from November 1st to 30th 2008
The snow has arrived and we have already enjoyed some great skiing. Whatever your level, come and enjoy it with us. This is the ideal time to get your ski legs back and polish your technique. A few days in the mountains will give you a real burst of oxygen from which you will benefit all season.
Throughout the month of November, take advantage of our special "autumn rates" – www.topskival.com and if you would like an all-inclusive package, contact our partner "Le Ski" directly: deborah@leski.comThe Grande Motte ski area offers a variety of pistes for all levels and more vertical (1500m) than most other resorts offer in the middle of winter. ____________________________________________________
2008/2009 SEASON
The snow cover above 2000m is already superb and we are waiting impatiently for another winter of excellent conditions and wonderful powder skiing. Each week of the season, you can follow how the weather and snow conditions are changing and read about the best descents we've done on the "info neige" section on www.topskival.com From November 1st 2008 to May 15th 2009 we are open every day to help and advise you.
Given the international financial situation, you will be pleased to hear that our private lesson rates have barely risen and that our group ski session rates still offer far and above the best value for money in Val d’Isère. Think about booking your sessions now via email: info@topskival.com
Val d’Isère is hosting the World Ski Championships from February 2nd to 14th 2009.Only a few pistes will be reserved for competitors, "La Face" and the "OK" on Bellevarde and the "Rhône-Alpe" (ex. piste "M") piste on Solaise. The majority of visitors will come to watch the races, therefore there will be very few people on the pistes and skiing off-piste. This is why we are encouraging people to come during this time to take advantage of the skiing with one of us, watching the competitions and experiencing the unique World Championship atmosphere. ___________________________________________________
