AndAnotherThing.., it's been a tiring but incredible four days of non-stop snowing. I'm gutted this storm is coming to an end, just as I'm really getting my groove on with deep powder skiing!

under a new name, if it continues to snow tonight I'm heading straight back there tomorrow because it will be nicely topped up and most people left that area after lunch when the whiteout came in (so it won't be completely skied out). Added to which, there is now more than enough coverage on the boulders in the trees, so I'll be billygoating to my hearts content

@Zero_G, sadly I have to work, ... And although pleased about how my hand's healing, I'm taking it easy to avoid missing the rest of the season.
I think I know where you guys were, vey, very nice! Enjoy, but do please be safe out there!!

under a new name, I've sent you a PM about the location – wouldn't want all the lurkers out there to beat us to the snow tomorrow 
We were very careful and there were also many pisteurs around (more than are usually seen in one place) keeping an eye on things. There are two faces in that area that are avalanche prone and I refused to go anywhere near them.

The Lachenal Bowl in Flegere today was the deepest I've seen it, this winter and last. Vis came and went but best day of the winter so far for me.

That's what the park is for. The rest of us would like more powder, damnit!

Has anyone in cham got a blower/brush that I can use for five minutes for removing a speck of dust from my camera sensor.

Dabber, we skied the trees too but didn't go very far over to skier's right (skied the section that goes down to the chairlift), so it was mostly skied out with a few bits of fresh here and there and mogulled towards the bottom, which was good.
We saw several groups heading over to the back bowls – not something I'd be willing to do with the snowpack being what it is and avi level at 4.

Back to Le Tour today. Pistes in great condition, looks like the bashers had been a working had. Didn't venture into the back bowls but a few teams were. Found some freshies far right in the trees off the Tete de Balme. Retreated when low cloud created a white out after 15.00. Not too many people about, and very cold on the front chair.

Oh yes I missed the best bit. I spotted a ptarmigan in full winter plumage.

You must have eagle eyes to spot a white bird against the snow. Impressed!
