Val d'Isère ready for 49th Criterium Première neige

Val d'Isère is preparing for the 49th Criterium de la Première Neige which will take place between the 7th and 19th of December. The International Ski Federation carried out a detailed inspection of the Oreiller - Killy (OK) piste yesterday and have given the green light to the resort which has invested over 2 million euros in the event. After last year's expensive cancellation it seemed touch and go again but 40cm of fresh snow on Monday seems to have saved the day. The station has worked flat out over the last month to prepare for the event and has made more than 42,000 meters cubed of artificial snow.
