Just watch the amount of snow forecast for the 12th dwindle day by day to a light dusting.

Oh be quiet doom monger!
I will try to keep the faith....
The only thing I may do is switch to hire skis if there is still no snow forthcoming towards the end of next week.

@HoneyBunny, If there's no snow before the end of the week you'll be better switching to golf shoes or walking boots
(hope you don't have to )

@chrisrawles, no, some very light snow last night. I'm not too far from the 3V (in Les Arcs), and we had 1 or 2cm of snow at resort level. In the grand scheme of things it's insignificant, but does make things look much prettier.

Actually the saddest news of all yesterday was noticing the demise of the last remaining free parking in Val Thorens - the big car park down by Chalet de Caron now has barriers and is fully 'ValThoParc'-ed up... 
At least the Police Municipale weren't being too overzealous yesterday and plenty of on the street parking was going on without any tickets.

The Courchevel 1850 resort level cam is looking much whiter this morning.

@offpisteskiing, oh no! Are you saying the free parking for day visitors at P4 is no more?

@macgyver, your pics are good too but my question wasn't very well put. Going to be in Les Menuires from Sunday. Doesn't look too good for skiing there at the moment. So looking at driving up to VT and parking at P4 then. But is that now chargeable or still free?

Yeah thats what I was referring to, P4. The big park next to the bus station, just before the road tunnel that goes into the resort, marked for day visitors, it's definitely still there but whether its open right now or not I'm not sure, might be too early?

ok thanks

@andy1234, @macgyver, ah, possibly my mistake - when I drove past P4 (if the map is correct) there were barriers etc down, in the past it was always a free car park with no barriers...

@calbris, Courchevel looking a little white above 1850 from up in Champagny a little while ago. Still need a big (BIG) snowfall to get things going!

@offpisteskiing, sadly no sign of a big snowfall. Snow forecast for 12th or 13th gets downgraded by each forecast. A big storm will of course at some point come but I can't see many runs open next Saturday when they say they want to open

It's open and free for day visitors. Only problem is that you can't ski back to it at the moment, so if you do use it you need to download on the Cairns gondola or take the shuttle bus from resort.
Lots of lots of local police in the resort today, looking like they were managing the parking situation very closely.

bergflex now has no snow on Friday at all and the 32cm predicted for Saturday is down to 10-15cm.
How much snow would we need to create a real good base?

I wonder whether Courchevel will even be able to open next weekend. Ah well, if they cancel my holiday I'll just move it to Val D next March.

@HoneyBunny, 3 days of cold temps and they will open I'd say....north facing so if they can get the snow down you can gondola up from 1800m in the absolute worst case...

Let's hope so! A few reports are saying there'll be snow next weekend so we might just be lucky.

Evolution: arrival of snow in the coming days
It's really Monday that tumbles down a real disturbance northwest. So it will snow more seriously all day Monday on the Pyrenees, first from 1300 m and then dropping to 700 to 800 m. We can expect new snow of 20 to 30 cm at 1500 m above sea level on the west of the chain. The Jura, the Vosges and the Massif Central, snowfall is also expected, but they will not last as long, and a layer of 5 to 10cm around 1000 meters. On the Alps, Savoie and Isère departments of the north will be the most favored with good snowfall accompanied by winds.
The next snowfall will take place on Wednesday with the descent of a 2nd disturbance from the northwest, much less active than Monday. This is the weekend that a major offensive snow is expected on all massive this time. |
