Pila has postponed its opening of the ski season to Saturday 6th December. It was supposed to open this weekend, but they don’t have enough snow for it. Even though when you see at the webcams, it does not look so bad. Actually, it looks pretty good!
Pila, as it is mostly on grassy fields, do not need as much snow to open as, for example, Courmayeur does (as its terrain is more on high mountain which is rockier! You need snow to cover those rocks!). You can read a more detailed explanation of how much snow ski resorts need to open on this past post of mine.
The latest snowstorms have hit Pila, but not as much snow has fallen there, as it has on the Mont Blanc area and on the Cervino. Cervnia is opening more terrain this weekend, as well as Courmayeur.
Here is the official announcement of the resort:
“The opening of the ski lifts scheduled for November 30 is postponed to December 6, 2024. Due to the current snow conditions, the opening of the Pila ski resort, initially scheduled for November 30, is postponed.
The opening of the ski season in Pila is postponed to next weekend. The recent snowfall, insufficiently abundant on our slope, combined with the low number of cold days available, which have limited the effectiveness of artificial snowmaking, do not allow the resort to open for the moment.
We will therefore meet you on Friday, December 6, ready to welcome ski enthusiasts in the best conditions and to offer an experience that meets your expectations.
See you soon on the slopes!”
