Anybody in Tignes know if they're likely to be opening more lifts over the next few days with the snow that's fallen and is forecast to fall?

From their facebook page:
A few more lifts are opening tomorrow!!! Head to the Tufs, Toviere Aeroski, Tommeuses, Tichot and Grattalu lifts!
So that opens up quite a bit of the area, and hopefully with the snow in the next couple of days a couple more will open.

Many thanks for the reports guys! Looking at some very excited folks on twitter, some saying up to 90cm at the top in the last 24 hours!
Do you think the link will get open this week?

If the Aeroski and Tommeuses are open tomorrow on the Tignes side, I would expect the link to be open

That for every 500 people lying down or sitting on the snow.....one will be a skier

The boarder will wait until he's halfway down the middle of a narrow icy trail before lying down

Thanks for all the pictures everyone. Some sites seem to be suggesting a load more lifts opening tomorrow, and maybe the link to Val also...? Anybody confirm / deny?

I can see the Aeroski's up and running! Tignes is looking exceedingly snowy today, great stuff.

I find it quite funny that on a day like today (looking at the webcams) Tignes and Val d'Isere have their snow cannons blasting

No sense in taking any risks! Get that base slammed down as quickly as possible.
I should think that for the next couple of weeks, as long as it's cold enough to make it, then make it they will!!

I have only walked over to the display board next to the Aeroski but it is showing Tufs, Bollin (not Fresse), Tichot, Grattalu, Aeroski and the Funicular running. Everything on the Glacier is closed due to 90km/h winds.

I was thinking that but I also would have thought that they would try to reserve supplies (if they are as low as what some reports have suggested) for days when they are really needed. I guess they are just taking advantage of the current cold enough conditions, even if it does seem like a drop in the ocean!

It was a pleasure to ski on FAT skis yesterday for the first time this season, instead of GS skis. The FAT skis look like they are going to get some action this week with lots more offpiste available with the opening of more lifts
|
Yup. I had already resigned myself to leaving the Dynastar Big Troubles at home for Friday's trip, but they're back in the quiver now!!

I had better get a real lottery ticket because my luck must be in. We arrive Monday and have been a tad concerned, but all of a sudden it looks great.
