But better than this the snow is dry and powdery, making it perfect for your skiing needs. Light snow is currently forecast leaving you ready to enjoy every moment of your visit.
Canada
Moving a little further afield and Canada is always a desirable destination. It is easily one of the best ski destinations in 2018. The daytime temperature is an acceptable 0°C ensuring the snow stays steady. But you will need to wrap up warm, especially if you are hoping to visit the eastern slopes.
USA

Snowfall is predicted which will help to freshen and strengthen the existing ground covering. This is still a good one to try!
Andorra
The final entry on the best ski destinations for 2018 is the Pyrenees from Andorra. In particular, the Pas de la Casa has snow of 1.5 meters at the base with more snow on the way.
