The snow in Le Châble gave way to rain about 1930, and it rained up to 2000m, absolutely bucketed down too! However it had stopped by 0600 and there should be plenty of fresh snow up there now. Still plenty of snow on the ground in Le Châble. Just finished moving the new load of logs on to the terrace and off to investigate.

Feels pretty mild in resort. Probably 7 or 8 degrees, so theres a bit of slush around.
Piste report tomorrow.

Following Thursday's storm things opened up slowly but by mid afternoon everything was open. Some stunning snow on Mt Fort. A little bit heavier lower down. Quite a few people around too - new year is just around the corner.

Yesterday was Televerbier's busiest day ever with over 24,000 skiers on the slopes. We headed over to Thyon to try to avoid the crowds, but still had the longest wait ever at Tortin to come back. Lovely snow everywhere though.

Pretty icy below about 1900m today meaning runs back into the resorts are pretty hideous. Absolutely mobbed yesterday and today. I can't see me ever coming back at New Year. Waited 45 minutes to get on the Poma up to Plan de Fou. A few other long waits - 25-30 minutes followed by 45 minutes on the bus in Siviez.
Can't say it's my best ever ski holiday.

All back to normal....lovely, can park outside the shops in the village and no-one seems hell bent on getting run over by walking down the middle of the road. The skiing yesterday was great, over to Siviez and Verbier, no queues and far fewer people on the pistes.

It might not have snowed for a while, and av risk may only be a 2, but take care in current warm weather, especially in the afternoon, and on (or beneath) west facing slopes. Recent avalanches in Col des Mines & Creblet, & skiers right side of Vallon d'Arbi. If going off the back of MF, try to get to the damn by early lunch-time latest.

Ive never got over to the Nendaz area before. Am I right in thinking Plan du Feu(sp?) is the way to access this area?
Arriving for a weekend break,Thurs - Sunday
It looks like we may miss out on any freshies though
