Can anyone help me, ive heard that when it's snowing you can't ski, ?Or is this just for begginers?
Some intermeadiate friends were in france 2 weeks ago and missed out on 2 days ski, so is it true?

Not at all, If it is a "white out" then that could be a problem, but beginners are on the nursery slopes for the first few days so it shouldn't be a problem! It would only be a problem if you were up on top of the mountain!Ally

You can ski when its snowing. Visibility can make things tricky but a pair of bright goggle sorts that out. If its too dangerous or windy they may shut some lifts.re: Snow - No ski?
Hi ClareWe skied last week in Pamps and two days it snowed quite heavily. It just made it a bit hard going visibility wise and it was cold on your face. Goggles would be good and a neoprene face mask. Two things we didn't take and someone in our class did. So these will be on our shopping list for next year.

Yes, you can ski when it's snowing ... it only gets dodgy when the clouds are at the same level as the slopes and visibility is low. As the clouds are white and the snow of the slope is white it becomes impossible to navigate, and can get so thick that you are unsure if you are moving or not.
