I’m Iain Martin from The Ski Podcast, and in this video I’m reporting from Les 3 Vallées with a Courchevel–Méribel snow update for 14 Feb 2026. The headline is simple: conditions are VERY GOOD. I focus on what that actually means for your ski day—whether you’re planning to lap the Courchevel side, head over to Méribel, or just want confidence that the wider Three Valleys area is delivering. I also share a practical travel and budget tip from my own trip: I stayed in Brides-les-Bains, which I’ve found is one of the low-cost ways to base yourself for Les 3 Vallées. If you’re trying to keep accommodation spend under control but still want access to the biggest linked ski area in the world, this approach can make a lot of sense. Overall, it’s a straightforward, on-the-ground report designed to help you decide if now’s the time to go—and how to do it without blowing the budget.
