What we thought was going to be an overcast day, began cloudy and cool and was soon quite sunny. The snow was fine over at the Vorosse, even squeaky in places. The Myrtille was a bit bumpier than earlier in the week, and beginning to be scratched through to undergrowth in places. The forecast for the weekend should sort that.
It really hasn't felt like February this week, more like mid March!

Also, the red down the back off the Morclan lift was quite brown and slushy yesterday lunchtime, but the rest of the Chatel pistes were fine.

It's currently snowing lightly but constantly in Les Gets, my take is that if the freezing level stays below resort there will possibly be more snow, but if it's 2000m there will be a lot of rain. Either way, it's time to return the shorts to the back of the cupboard for a couple of weeks.

There's no suggestion in any of the forecasts I've seen that the freezing level will be 2000m. Highest would appear to be 1300 ish on Wednesday. While above Morzine les gets resort level it's no disaster and would appear to be only for a short period. We're going to do fine out this storm I'm sure

@Nelbert75, snowforecast had it very high yesterday for Monday but 1300-1600m now. I've just cleared about 10cm off the car. Turns out that snow clearing with a broken thumb is more difficult than skiing with a broken thumb!

@pam w, yes sadly the Paris lot are still on holiday though I'm hoping it might be quieter than last week. Though judging by the state of town this evening perhaps not

Lots of cracking driving from the freshly arrived hordes this evening. Yes mate why don't you just go ahead and block the whole Avoriaz road to put on your snow chains (uk punter). And an Audi Q7 on its side in a ditch on the way down from Ardent. If only you'd spent a few more quid on proper winter tyres your 70k machine wouldn't be ruined......

It will be a little quieter but it's still Parisians holidays and one other Tranche (can't remember which) week after that (from the 1st) it'll be quieter as inly 1 tranche is on holiday.
It's when people wander around in the road then have a shocked expression on their face when, low and behold, they see a car which is trying to get past them.... and the random vehicle stopping next to a curb with no parking space... I tell you those ASVP guys would earn a mint of they actually ticketed people for illegal parking.... Oh dear! look what you've start me on @sarah,

Good morning from Chatel where it's all white again and with a hint of a blue sky too! Around 20 cm fallen where I am at 1200m since yesterday afternoon.

Me too DJL - I'm hoping that it's all quiet because everyone is out there having fun in amazing conditions!
Locals, how warm is it out there at the mo, does it feel like spring yet?

@DJL, you might be in luck there. Rain to start with this week in many places to start with but hopefully not too much before it turns to snow.

@pam w, I wouldn't wish the rain on anyone but that would do nicely, though 8 March is still some way off in meteorological terms.

Agreed it doesn't look as if the sun is showing its face much at all next week - we are going back to LG on Thursday as no booking for our chalet this coming week.

@DJL, i go back on 8 March too, not counting any chickens yet. But I'm not wishing I was going earlier.

I'm going out tomorrow, only got back to the UK last Saturday!
Should be a good week! There was enough snow before, but everywhere should be nice and fresh now.
