Alastair that's reassuring one of my party had a colleague just come back from C1650 and said conditions had detoriated due to warm weather. Grateful for info on pistes around courchevel if you are over there at all. any snow forecast in the next week-though we don't arrive until the 11th. I just want a nice base for when we get there

Alastair. Ouch! Very sorry to hear that. A collarbone is the only bone I've ever damaged in skiing - about 30 years ago. It's an annoying injury. Wishing you a good recovery ...

Oh dear! That's another snowHead with season-long access to the slopes that's picked up a fracture (PG last season, eEvans this season). Hope you make a quick recovery.
How was the recovery from the piste - did you have the same bad service that snowbunny got last season?

Alastair, Your weather updates have been invaluable to me, get well soon! I am out again on the 18th March so if you want any comfort food bringing out 
Bust my shoulder in Courchevel last year, so I know how much of a bummer it is!

Alastair, What a shame. I hope you have a really quick recovery. Just think - NH jockeys only have a mandatory 2 weeks off for a collarbone - in the old days they used to ride with broken collar bones - wouldn't recommend it though. Hope the docs are all good. Keep off the booze until the pain goes away. Hopefully we'll all see you fit and well at the EOSB.

Thanks again, everone, for your kind comments. At least the painkillers seem to be working!

Alastair, Sorry to hear about your injury, hope the recovery is quick and painfree. It could be a lot worse, at least you get to look out of the window at some spectactular views.

Overcast all day today, with light snow all afternoon - just a few extra cms on the ground.

Alastair, you should be fit for the bash though ?

Paul Mason, I certainly hope so! I may be skiing a little more cautiously, though.

Alastair, snap. Although we should be ok bearing in mind the occupations of some of the attendees !

About 20cm of fresh snow overnight, with another 40-80cm forecast by tomorrow morning. Heavy snow at the moment. Bad news: winds of up to 90km/h expected for a while this afternoon. Most lifts opening late (or not at all) today. Brief respite expected tomorrow morning, then more snow.

More heavy snow and high winds overnight - and it continues. Transfer day - and the road into VT has been blocked for quite a while, although it seems to be moving very slowly now.

Correction to the above - the road is still blocked (for over a couple of hours now). When they get the road running, chains mandatory from Les Menuires upwards. No lifts running - extensive avalanche blasting in progress. Heavy snow continues and shows no signs of abating. Looks like I won't be the only person here not skiing today. Still, at least I'm not a transfer rep!

So we should be a little confident that there will be snow on 22 April ?

Foggy and many pistes closed today, so crowded skiing in a white out apparantly  . More snow has been falling - once again, more than I think was expected. Avalanche warning level remains at 5.
