Leedslips, your les gets/morzine pass takes you on all the lifts at Mont Chery. There is now a new giant 'bag' that you can play on - jumps etc - not my sort of thing but my son has had fun on it, and that costs you 10(?)euros for an hour, I think.

Yes, we skied Mont Chery this afternoon, and though not comparable to Thursday's extra terrestrial exerience, it was still a great afternoon's skiing with the snow still good until 4pm when the clouds lifted and the sun hit the slopes. Could feel it going crispy in the shade though. My son boarded around La Turche/Perrieres this morning and said it was great, though off piste claggy. It's forecast to snow again on Tuesday on the 3 weather sites I look at...

just doing my usual 'check every ski-cast on the net' routine for snow reports for les gets & morzine and things don't look half as bad as they were looking on the longe range when i was looking last week. Looks like good amounts of snow due on late monday, all tuesday and friday. Here's hoping! arrive on Thursday.

Skied from Nyon over to Pleney yesterday. Some slopes still corduroy even at 2pm! Snow is still good despite slight thaw. Skied 'til the lifts closed.
Pointe de Nyon or Lhottys for lunch today methinks.

Great skiing in sun over in Linderets and Super Morzine.
A bit icy for RayScoops's first run on the Swiss Wall. A bit icy on the second run too. Way to go Ray!
Looking forward to "top up Tuesday". I hope you guys are right about the snow.

looks like Tuesday could be offering Les Gets an almighty snow dump if reports are to be believed, fingers crossed! friday should see a good dusting to top up for a sunny weekend. Counting down the hours til thursday.

cardweg, don't know if this is of interest to you, but the giant 'bag' in the Mont Chery snowpark I mentioned previously has apparently been replaced (did it get speared by a ski??) by a huge jump 'as big as a house' according to younger members of the family. We had a great home made apple and rum cake at the Grande Ours just above the snow park the other day- the downstairs there is good and cosy with a wood burner and friendly staff.
A beautiful day today, some of the bumps looked a bit icy so avoided those, all the blues and reds (under chavannes, rosta, nauchets) were still great to ski.

Another live report from Avoriaz here. A lovely afternoon skiing under blue skies. Pistes holding up well but some fresh snow would be welcome. Everything open although winds shut one of the higher lifts. Just off to sample the apres ski. Stunning views in every direction!

Would it be cynical of me to ask why all the webcams haven't updated for a week?
18 more sleeps until Morzine '08.....can't wait. Although looks like I am going to cheat on Morzine'09 and head for Flaine. The family group I organise want a change....I'd do Morzine every time but then...first love and all that!

Conditions prevailed against me and we doidn't get to Mont Chery. Spent most of the day between La Rosta & Chamoissiere. As at Avoriaz, the snow is holding up reasonably well, but the promised dump for tomorrow would be most welcome.
Finished the day with a circuit from la Rosta, Ranfoilly, Chamoissiere, Nyon Pleney and down into Morzine. A great finish (despite avoiding the grass low down below Pleney) to a wonderful week.
The highlight was definitely Thursday when I skied probably the best conditions I've experienced in Europe for over 15 years but yesterday's views of Mont Blanc etc will be remembered for a long long time.
Back to blighty tomorrow and into the office on Wednesday - bah humbug 
For the rest of you still out here - enjoy

Light drizzle in Morzine resort at 9.30 am and most of the way to Geneva was heavy rain. Hopefully snow up top.

Mixture of light rain here in Les Gets first thing, then sleet and snow, now clear. Can see snowline on trees halfway up Mont Chery, at the top of the bubble, so there should be some new snow on higher slopes.

Update late afternoon after more snow flurries interspersed with cloud and glimpses of sunshine - a couple of inches of new snow reported by my son boarding up on Rosta/Ranfolly this afternoon. He says it was fine, not wet, and no queues.

Avoriaz was shrouded in cloud today. But thankfully It's snowed nearly all night and day too. Visibility was at times rather scary. Cloud has lifted now and the fresh snow was great to ski on. I think I've found my new favourite run too, Combe a Floret down through the trees into Les Lindarets. I felt rather like James Bond!  Here's hoping for clear skies to enjoy the new snow.

Hi I am thinking of staying in Ardent in late March, how reliable is the snow in Avoriaz at that time? is it rediculous to even think I could ski to the chalet? Any thoughts would be welcome.

Woofie, I skied PDS end of March last season and finished off at the bottom of the Ardent gondola each day by skiing. Not much there but so even if you can get to the bottom of the gondola there'd only be a very short walk! Once you get to the gondola you can ski to The Bar (singular) but not sure if you can get much further.

hubblebubble, Le Biot in a car is about 15-20min from Morzine centre. Also skiing just above Le Biot at the Col De Corbier not linked to anything but some blues and reds and even a black Google - Drouzin le Mont for details. Also Le Grande Terche is close by to Le Biot in St Jean d'Aulps with some great skiing and quiet slopes.
Woofie, Ardent we ski down to Ardent usually until end of April so you should have nor problems
