With only a couple of weeks until February half term, Paradiski is reporting 70% occupancy [Observatoire Comete to the 10th January] for the month of February. The sheer depth and quality of the snow fall in the area will offer visitors excellent skiing conditions and snowsports enthusiasts are urged to take advantage of any last-minute offers offered by ski operators.

With fresh snowfall forecast in Paradiski for next week and with 70 percent of its pistes situated above 2000 metres, skiers have a good chance of excellent skiing conditions throughout the ski area until the 21st April when Paradiski closes.
