In the last two days, so taking into account when it started snowing in the early hoyrs of Sat morning and the whole of saturday into the evening the Tignes website is saying the had only
Lower slopes - 8cm new snow (120cm total)
Upper slopes - 10cm new snow (140cm total)
Seems a bit low considering it was coming down pretty heavy all day?
Val disere has added 30cm at resort level....anyone on the ground in Tignes shed any light on the reality? All yesterdays talk of great powder makes me suprised it was only 10cm ! Cant be correct surely?

Anyone know whether there is a cash machine in Val Clarets ? Can only find mention of one in Les Brevieres.

No worries. Tignes website is so bad and hard to find info. I wanted to see what options there are for child care of say 8 months olds away from TO's and could not find anything at all. I'm sure there is and I cant remember as when I worked there was about as interested in that as most young ski bums are !
Have a great trip....me there from 26th...cant wait.
