With Chamonix open in to May and the resort still reporting one of the deepest snow bases in Europe (around 4m/13 feet on top), it seems a good time to party, and so the famous resort will be staging a Winter Sessions Weekender on 16th – 18th April. The event is being organised by World Sessions who describe themselves as the leading Alpine party makers who for the last five years have worked on over 70 events and party tours, including some of the largest freesport competitions and festivals in Europe from the infamous Gumball Rally to Glastonbury Festival.

Chamonix’s world famous ski area is divided in to a number of sectors, most of which need to be driven between as it’s a little far to walk in some cases.
