Looks like there was a bit of a dusting last night - which is good as I was expecting a big melt from rain.

Snowcrazy - nice photos, pretty unsurprising the green jackets are in the 2000 bowl coming opening day...
Other news - the squirrel in Plan-Peisey has had a make-over, no longer mountain-brown (and that's the polite version) but more red. Opening night was tonight so lots of sore heads in the morning I'm sure.
I so want to be there...

snowcrazy, Yoo Da MAAAAANNN....
God I needed that. Superb pics, a real lift and just what I needed after tales of rain etc.
Love the "all alone" pic... and glad to hear the knee is holding up, I've been through it myself with dislocated shoulders and its a great feeling to be back in shape. Just take it easy.
Bring on January... I won't stop doing the obligatory snow dance each night before I say me prayers.

Looking better - using the cam which looks over from La Plangne to Vallandry though still looks like the snow line is around 1600m - few hundred ms higher than I'd be happy with

snowcrazy, re picture questions:
The photo is from Col de le Chal towards Bellecote North Face and hence your two routes are the itineraire round the back of Aguille Grive towards Nancroix, and of course the north face itself... he guesses!

JimW, give the man a prize. correct, but you know I love to ski those routes all the time. Col de la chal route down to Nacroix is great for everybody. I did it first when I was very very young  , But if you do not know the route or have the gear, take a guide. The second, Bellecote North face, only for the serious off piste skier with a guide unless you really know the routes and ALL the safety gear. I just cannot wait until we have enough snow to start doing them this season.

Now, what about my other challenge re. the new piste map. So far nobody has told me the name of any pistes that have been changed or are missing from this years map on the Les Arcs side. Come on or have I really got you all stumped

Well there's the changes in Plan-P - i.e. construction of Poney piste. Plus there's a red missing from the top of tommelet lift that ran across to Rouelles, but I'm sure you covered that earlier when you were talking about the removal of gollet
what else have I missed? If there's much more gone (given the loss of the 2x blacks on the LP side) then surely they'll have to start marketing Paradisk as 420km of piste.

thats the one i tend to use most as it gives me hope. snow-forecast.com is the other, but i think they just employ someone to look out the window

Horrendous flat bit in the middle of 2000 bowl. There was supposed to be work done during the Summer to add gradient.

Thank god for that, I'd swear I've seen people going uphill backwards in strong winds there.

FAQ
Nice & cold, so I guesss they'll have the cannons working too 
season. 
It did stay very cold so -8 at the Arcubule Chair this morning. The snow stayed quite good all day as it never really went above freezing. Still only the Arc 2000 bowl open right now but they have been busy preparing pistes all over the place and I was told that Arc 1800, Arc 1600 and yes even Peisey - Vallandry will open as planned on saturday if the weather holds up. Not sure about Villaroger but will try to find out tomorrow. Tonight we have clear skies again and cold. Should be another good day tomorrow. Sorry but it will be time to spoil the few untracked places left if they open a few more lifts. But I will be thinking of you all
