It's snowing. Again. No wonderful view of Mt Blanc from my balcony today, so I'll post another photo from yesterday, just to remind me of what the sky looks like.

Day off the slopes for me so no photos. The weather wasn't too appetising, so after yesterday's perfection thought we'd relax. The day started with fairly heavy snow (at 1800m) and low cloud, but it's warm so the snow sometimes turned to sleet and + temperatures. That fluctuated during the day, with the odd clearer spell and varying amounts of snow. We're back to heavy snow as I type. Further up the hill today's snowfall will have helped refresh things a little, but not reset the off-piste after yesterday's powderfest.

You know it makes sense.

It's really slamming down now, and has been for two or three hours. Might have to revise my view about the off-piste being reset if it continues like this!

My last update before Christmas as I am having a break for a few days.
I just heard that the snow fell most of the day yesterday and it is looking good today with fresh powder everywhere and you can easily get down to Bourg if you know the way off piste.
The snow depth at Arc 1600 is 115cm, at Arc 2000 about 143cm, at the top of the Transarc around 174cm and at the top of Aigle Rouge a massive 335cm so I think I am safe in saying there will be plenty of snow for quite a while.
Needless to say the roads are slippy and you might well need to have chains if you are driving up the mountain if the bad weather does come back although the word rain has also been mentioned for lower areas, but getting to Bourg should be ok.
I am sure those out over the Christmas period will keep the posts coming.
Merry Christmas for anyone out over the festive period and I will start posting again later next week.
Bonne Noel!!

Hi Snowcrazy, do you know why the snow depth so much higher is on the Aigle Rouge than for example Arc 2000 or Roche de Mio in La Plagne?

A few centimetres of fresh snow overnight, but only above 1600m from looking at where snow starts to appear on the trees. Colder today by about 6 degrees than it has been for a few days, and lots of low cloud. Plenty of snow forecast over next few days.
