- In answer to those of you who post "anyone know what the conditions are like
- in xyz, I'm going there for Christmas", can I suggest calling Ski Hotline.
-
- Ski Hotline provide accurate, up-to-date reports of snow and weather
- conditions at over 140 European and North American resorts. All reports are
- compiled from 'on the ground' sources and are updated every day. IMHO, the
- information is informative and accurate and not biased by being sponsored by
- a tour company who are trying to convince you to book a holiday. The
- information includes snow depths, number of lifts/pistes open, whether links
- to other resorts are open, plus weather prospects and freezing levels for the
- next 24 hours.
-
- There are two ways to access the information. Say you want to know the
- information for St. Anton, dial the number for Austria P-Z and say "yes
- please" when you hear St. Anton on the menu. Alternatively, if you have a
- tone phone and are connected via a digital exchange, dial 0891 881 900 then
- dial the 3 digit number for the resort of your choice when prompted to do so.
- I have included the complete list of resorts below. It is fairly
- comprehensive, file it away somewhere and there will be no excuses for
- incorrect spellings of Kitsbuhel in future postings :-)
-
- The numbers are UK given in UK format. I have no idea if you can dial an
- 0891 number from outsize the UK, but if you can it would be +44 891....
- Perhaps someone would give it a go and post the net if it works?
-
- Numbers for groups of resorts are as follows:
-
- France : Resorts A-I 0891 654 640
- France : Resorts J-L 0891 654 641
- France : Resorts M-S 0891 654 646
- France : Resorts T-Z 0891 654 647
- Austria : Resorts A-E 0891 654 642
