2021 First Glimpses of Snow, post here.

So what is the cut off between last season and this season then? Was July the start, or continuation?

I've skied Big Snow twice this summer (would be going now but its closed due to a fire) 1st time was June 10th which I got to admit felt like an add on to last season. 2nd time was September 10th and it did feel like the start to a new season which makes July a good break point. Was really hoping to get 3 sessions in October and maybe another 2 or 3 in November before the outdoor season started here in the east but it looks to be down till at least November now.

Will there be a 21/22 season in Chamonix?

In France in general there will be a ski season. The question is how much you will need your "Pass sanitare" (proof of vaxination etc). Lifts? Resturants? Work (in a resorts)?
The big teltail difference this year is all the rsorts and more importantly the lift companies are doing job interviews. Last year they were hiring no one, even if they were going to end up Very short staffed come (theoretical) opening.
The pass sanitaire will not affect any overseas guests as they need to be vaxinated to get into the country in the first place - they willl have to show proof, so if you are coming have your QR code in both printed and electonic form, saying that I have only showed mine once at the indor section of a charity flea market!

On their website, they are selling tickets for 11/1, but there are no updates since the announcement that it was going to take some time. I hope for 11/1, because it helps get psyched and physically ready for the “rest” of the season.
