03/2006 Crans-Montana: 'if you wish for lots of snow, check where I'm going next winter...'
Snowing so heavily at 7am I can’t see anything out of the hotel window. Continues to snow heavily all day – I’ve never seen so much damn snow. After spending 7 hours outdoors, I’m ready to flag down a passing ambulance but have to make do with the resort bus.
My last day in Crans-Montana and it's good to know I haven’t lost my touch as the original 'Bad Weather Fairy'. The charming elderly French lady, owner of my hotel, said the weather has been so appalling that a lot of the Valais roads have been closed including the ones out of Saas Fee and Zermatt – seems I got out just in time. She uttered the words I hear with alarming frequency: “it’s never normally this bad…” There was no skiing in Crans Montana yesterday as all the lifts were closed because of the avalanche danger.
