Zach, nobody knows, just check the weather often and go if there's snow.

Zinal?
Looking for recommendations on Zinal - will be there a few days in late December, 19th-22nd. Staying in Zinal proper, not Grimentz.
What to look out for, eating/drinking/skiing-wise. Things to see and do outside of skiing? Should I bother bringing touring gear? Worth a guide? Anyone wanna meet up and make a few turns or have a drink or two or three?

Edit I.just type this after I read that you're staying in Zinal proper so will leave it. I'll look up the contacts for you and email them on
A good location is either Hotel Bella Tolla or Hotel Weisshorn which is more towards central Val D'Anniviers with Bella tolla close to a lift (I'll have to look up the name). You can stay at Zinal proper but bus service drops off further up valley and you may limit options. Weather in that valley can be fickle so it's often prudent to keep options open so being in the central valley as opposed to Southern valley in Zinal can open options as you can switch to other side.
I know people who've toured around Becs de Besson so I'll look them up and find names. Touring is Definitely an option of course but isn't that always the case.

I'm taking off on Christmas holidays the 21st or 22nd but can probably join you for a day before.
Food: Château de villa in Sierre- the temple of raclette! From zinal its all the way back down the valley however. Otherwise I've found most of the hotel restaurants in st Luc/ grimentz /Sierre to be pretty typical. Not aware of anything especially worth seeking out.
Things to do and see: Uhh in Anniviers, not too much. There is a observatory in st Luc that is open to the public if you like that sort of thing. Big telescope, so if the sky is clear can be worth checking out one evening or even during the day if you ski st luc/ chandolin.
Touring gear only if you want to bag a peak or or a bigger decent. Not needed for free riding around zinal.
The super cool hotel Weisshorn is above st Luc and only accessible by skins/ snow shoes. So if you are at all flexible on accommodation could be cool to skin up there, ski a line like the Toûno couloir and then stay the night. Could always just go for lunch/ dinner/ après as well.

Thanks Lee and Charlie! If you have the time and the inclincation, I'd be super psyched to make some turns with you CDS, prolly the 20th or 21st, as I'll be heading to Rueras on the 22nd to meet up with vendul for Xmas.

Haha, sun just destroys perfectly good powder
It's actually not that bad, 4hrs of sunset every day and with big headlamps it does't really matter is it day or night.
And then April and May 24hrs of day light.
Good to have some diversion in life!

So what are the odds of the season starting on time? Will we be able to ride lifts in December?

Can someone pls explain what a "Ski Route" is?
Is this like an off piste area that is ungroomed but mitigated, thus a safe place to ski?
Looking to plan a trip for Feb/March to Italy..most likely Monterosa.
I have a decent understanding of "snow science theory" and how to behave in the backcountry (but have not formally completed my Avy 1) and have a decent amount of touring/BC experience.
Is hiring a Guide the best way to ski pow? They look pretty expensiv. So basically if I want to ski Pow, this is pretty much the only option unless I decide to venture "off piste" myself?
Thanks
Also, if you have any other suggestions in Italy other than Monterosa that have good skiing, get dumped on etc , pls advise.
