Another 30cm tonight? Which forecast are you using? I'm very excited now, coming out on Saturday for a week with Snoworks. I hope you're right about the 30cm!
|

|

Oh yes.
I'm arriving on Friday, and was starting to get a bit nervous about the conditions! (having assured the Missus Val would be fine by the 9th Dec!).
VERY relieved to see all the weekend snow hit!
Is it still snowing? Hard to tell on the webcams

30cm -------- in the next 48 hours I think you'll find is what I said.... and snow-forecast.com BTW is whom I was looking at but also speaking to the pisteurs this arvo about it to. In fact if you look at Meteo France they are talking about nothing but snow really for the next few days... a short break and more snow next week!
Yes it is still snowing lightly and is certainly cold enough.
The roads have been cleared today so town is fully functioning and ready for another night of snow - hopefully.

Steve Angus, good to see you are keeping this going. It seems you are getting a better dump up your end than we are down in Les Arcs. Might be up for a ski later in the week.

.... just got back in from skiing and it is still pouring down... will post some photos, a report and hopefully some video footage of pow skiing from this morning on the Solaise. Forecasting the snow to keep coming and coming for another 2 days or so - at least another foot.

Really pleased to see the snow arriving! Did my first season in Val d'Isere so have a massive soft spot for it.
Fingers crossed it keeps coming and over the rest of the alps, no one needs another semi bad season, financial melt down!!

Going to get the photos and perhaps video up again later on but to whet your appetite today was perhaps one of the best days skiing of my whole entire life - we have had so much powder that we are drowning in it now!

It seems it was twice that amount. Lucky indeed.

Just WOW! I'd love to have just once chance in my life in conditions like that. In 22 years of skiing it hasn't happened yet.
On a more solemn note, I hope the girl in Saas Fee was OK...

... the sun looks like it will shine today and as I sit eat breakfast I can hear boom after boom as the Pisteurs start what will probably turn out for them as one hell of a day...
