Last Saturday saw many airports across the Alps close, as heavy snow brought chaos to planes trains and automobiles.

Those heading home were lucky to get away with a 12 hour delay, many had over 24, while those who’s planes did land found most resorts getting a good dump, on the already well covered slopes. More snow is forecast across the Alps towards the end of the week so get your arse on a plane or in the car and hope they can keep the roads and airports open. Good luck.
