brian, the fighting is always at New Year. We have to have extra police. Both the French and the Italians took defeat in the WC well when each beat each other (if you get my drift). Drunken english bums OTOH can fight anyone, anywhere, anytime, but usually each other!  that poster was pretty rude wasn't it?

It snowed down to about 2,100m last night, but it is warming up a bit, so although I believe it's still snowing the level is probably more like 2.400-600m now. However - a step in the right direction.

Easiski, I was hoping the snow would arrive, as the rain had poured down here yesterday. Just got back from Gap, and the Devoluy hills have a dusting, as well as the ones in the direction of Serre Chevailer.

Yeah, was thinking today as there was some snow falling in Northern Ireland (Ballymena Area) that there's bound to be some in that direction. The though of snow is getting me excited already and its 7 weeks until my trip to Alpe d'Huez.

Easiski, it's pissing down in Grenoble at the moment so hopefully there'll be more snow falling above LDA. The Belledonne look much nicer with the new snow.

easiski, it's so great that you are still so excited after all these years - that's what I meant, on another thread, about people who do their jobs for love not money! Fantastic pics.

AlTom, Where do you ski in Catalunya? Was in La Molina last Christmas, not a bad place and handy to get to from Gerona, thinking of going back this New Year.

maybe I missed your comments Charlotte, but what's the logo etched into the hill? Was it for "summer" use, or are they going to keep it up during winter?
Cheers,
Greg

kitenski, it's the curvy "les 2 alpes" resort logo, created by creative strimming I think, so with any luck it won't be visible much longer ....

kitenski, As Brian and Paul McK said, it's the old logo. they did something (I'm not sure what) to retart the grass growth in that area, and they strim it every year just before the summer opening. I think they can't change it now - which is a shame as the new logo and font is much nicer and much less 70's! there was one in between that logo and the new one, but it didn't last more than 2 years before the new one was invented.
It's raining in the town today, but with a temp barely above freezing it must be snowing not too much higher at the moment. Not worth taking a photo at the moment though - misty and gey - yuk, but good yuk!
AlTom, metalhead132, Aahhh - brothers!!

Easiski: Which are the opening conditions in early december??
Can we expect an opening from 2100m?? 30%-40% of the station??

FAQ
this photo shows La Grande Pente (where the LDA sign is) that I keep banging on about.
As you can see the lowest snow has burnt back, but I'm very encouraged by the amount still hanging around at 2,200m+ 
) at less than 100km to La Molina (and the lift-linked resort Masella) but we never (last 4 years) ski in La Molina or Masella. They are very crowded resorts. Normally we do day trips to different resorts (Andorra or France), and specially if it's a good snow season in the Prepyrenees we go to the little Port del Comte.....at only 1 hour by car 
so....in december if the snow conditions are OK, we will be there....ARRGGGG I can't wait!!
