I think we are all waiting for the snow to arrive. Looks like later today or tomorrow. Possibly 20cm at mid levels. Talked to Jill from the Alpaka on Wednesday on the phone . It was a balmy 16C in Le Lac at the time. Lets hope this lot sticks at least to 2500m

Mark1863, yeah, I've seen nothing but sunny terraces and glasses of rosé on facebook! Fingers crossed for anyone heading out there soon .

Kenzie, I'm merely a spectator this autumn! The lure of a West Country building site was too great

Weather looks horrible today. Can't wait to see the EK all pristine and white again. The countdown (and webcam gazing) continues.

Weather was a bit snowy today but it's been great all week. Perfect training conditions.

, my son said they did had half a dozen GS runs this morning before heading back done to pack up after a two week training camp , he said conditions have been great and far better than same time last year . He enjoyed this week more than last as it was getting bumpy and icy and was far more demanding , think I would prefer the conditions on Monday after this coming weekends snow, but then I'm not racing.

stewart woodward, just looked out of the window here in the East Ridiing which is rapidly going white - hope your snow tyres are here and not in France!!

I can't believe it's only eight weeks until I'm there, I love watching the pre-season build-up! Very jealous of everyone heading out sooner.

You know it makes sense.

Enjoy the stop over stewart woodward! After 6 weeks of the Champagny t-bar, you'll be glad you took in the sights of historic Dijon

Healthy looking snowdepth in Tignes Les Boisses (at 1850m), and the glacier has just opened for skiing. Wish I was back out there today!

Anyway, it's great to see, love your pic!

^ yeah I was getting fed up with looking at the same group of mountain bikers standing there on July the 24th.
Just need to see how soon the lake will freeze over, when does that normally happen?

Mr Piehole, I shall miss that group of mountain bikers!

To ease the agony of waiting to get back to the mountains here's a quick musical interlude showing that October can be a great time to ski. Photos from 6th - 11th this month.

Haha, if you look at the Le Lac webcam today, it looks completely tracked out. Like people have been literally all over it in the last 24 hours.

mountainaddict, I hate the place with an irrational passion. Worst thing about skiing on the Grand Motte.

50 cents IIRC. You buy tokens which operate the turnstile from a small machine by the toilet entrance.

stewart woodward, they have also put in a burger bar that was decent value, was open in the summer when we were there. Not sure if it will be opening during winter though, let us know if you can, make a change from the Aspen if you dont fancy going down.

rob@rar, Toilet is also free if you buy a coffee, however the queuing outside in the cold as the new owner will only open one door and ensure everyone passes the till first with all equipment on is just plain silly.
Followed by his regular patrols for people eating food not purchased on the premises and €5 for a bottle of coke/7up etc!!!! Shocking
