Incredible snow fall and amazing how localised. I'm amazed more people on this forum are not talking about it. A few posts but when 10cm was forecast and you get upwards of 150cm in a 24 hour period that is once every 10 year kind of stuff. Couple that with the fact only a couple of cm's fell just down the road and it's even more amazing.
I was going to go to Tignes and booked Chamonix at the weekend...gutted now !!
This reminds me of the Feb 99 storms...incredible, but they carried on all month !
Going to be dangerous as anything after this..take care if you are going.

arv, Mental hey !!
I'm so gutted as I was this close to booking Tignes but went for Chamonix as it was so much cheaper....as in £1000 instead of £3500 for the accomm ! I hope this storm goes over the hill to Chamonix...its snowed heaps through the tunnel !! Typical...but greats news for those in Espace Killy..

Agreed.
By Weds, Val d'Isere and Tignes are likely to have seen around 150 - 300cm of snowfall over the previous 3 - 4 days. That makes it one of the biggest snowfalls in Alpine history.

Boisses, Tea time Tuesday.
So much snow, so few skiers, even less who are equipped and aware of the risks. Sketchy reports of first fatality today in Val. Come and enjoy but please be super careful gang, we really would like to see you ALL again.

Most lifts open today as far as we could see. Cos the vis sucked. Not too bad down La Daille in the trees. Still snowing...
It's going to be better tomorrow. Sun please, cos the snow is brilliant. I just can't ski what I can't see.
