The best time to go skiing is between December and April – which is the main ski season in most resorts – and each month has its benefits. Whether you’re a family looking for a festive feel, or a keen skier hoping to cover some miles, you’ve got to pick the time that suits you best. To help you out, take a look at our guide to skiing each month.
Skiing in December

Skiing in January
January brings colder weather but also plenty of the white stuff, so pack the right gear and enjoy those powder days. All of the links between ski areas should be open by now too, meaning experienced skiers can really cover some ground. And if you pick a resort with tree-lined slopes, you’ll have better visibility when the snow’s falling.
