bitoffluff, If you are going around the 11/12th - then buy an Espace Killy pass. The area is open now, with connections at the top of the Toviere and Fresse lifts.

From the smile on her face on Monday I don't think you had much chance of that, new snow or no new snow!
She did mutter something about this trip becoming a regular even t in the future...

MrsPhillipStanton reports via text that a guide dog and snorkel are essential kit for the day.
If a text could ever be called smug then it was definitely a very, very smug text.

VolklAttivaS5, It sounds fantastic out there.
Hope this isn't a stupid question, but how cold is it though? Is it really raw? I'm planning be wearing an Icebreaker 200 base layer, then a fleece, then my jacket. Hope this is enough as I hate feeling like Michelin Man!

Those heading to Tignes and elsewhere in the Alps would be well advised to be cautious about avalanche risk. Piste Hors is reporting potential for high risks when this current storm is over. Some of the off-piste exposures in Tignes were developing a bit of a crust from exposure to the sun, so I'd guess that these could contribute to slabs forming.
