"The ski resort of Avoriaz in France is enjoying its best early-season snowpack in over two decades, prompting strong turnout and a surge in bookings as it prepares to reopen its slopes on December 6-7 for a second bonus weekend. After a remarkably busy first pre-opening weekend on November 29-30, the resort-part of the Morzine area-reports snow totals unmatched at this time of year since November 2003."
"On November 29-30, a total of 9,657 skiers took to the slopes across the Vallée d'Aulps ski area, marking a lively kickoff to the season. Tourism indicators also reflect strong momentum: according to the tourist office, the resort's occupancy rate for the full 18-week season has already surpassed 61.7%-an increase of 4.6 percentage points compared to the same period last year. This milestone is typically reached much later in December; in 2024, similar levels were not achieved until around December 20."
