Sunny all day, cold in the morning, but warm in the afternoon & apres-ski. Pistes in great condition, especially given the time of the year!

Kenzie, Second that, everything was in great nick today.
Skied Pisteurs though ( OK I know its in Val D'I,,,) and most of it was in great nick...good soft 'sloughy' snow, but the top 40m had been side-slipped into a 165cm wide trench, making it definitely a bit tricky for anyone with more reasonably sized skis... 
Reckon conditions will be a bit more spring-like tomorrow though, definitely some refrozen slush in the shade late this pm...

See you there maybe

stewart woodward, thanks for the news
george owen, I can't really see there being a sale on at Nevada, they only really sell boots and have a very good rep for it (I got mine there last year). Worth it though, transformed my skiing

Back from a week in Tignes. Had various weather from sunny and cold to quite hot and cloudy (it was 9 degrees up on the glacier on thursday, I believe). Had a lesson in powder conditions up on the lesse black (from funital down to the left) on wednesday but was almost raining back in Val Claret. Skied Sache yesterday which is still open down to les brevieres but horrible slush for the last bit.
On leaving resort this morning the temps had dropped enough for it to snow down past les brevieres to below 1500. I'm sure the locals have been out enjoying the better conditions today!

I try to but the trees keep jumping out in front of me. I'm sure it's a bloody conspiracy.

Slightly off the snow forecast topic but does anyone know if the bus transfers will run up to Tignes Val Claret from Bourg St Maurice as late as 2nd May and back down on 6th May. If anyone can point me in the direct of a website/timetable. I've tried Altibus but it doesn't seem to let me select those dates.
Thanks
Liz

stewart woodward, it certainly shouldn't start at 3.30 unless there's a white out.
I noticed that a new snowHead joined us yesterday - Alpaka Lodge. Must try and get back to the place one of these days as enjoyed staying there about 4 years ago.

Yesterday was a blue sky day, with fresh, unbashed powder on the pistes. Also live music on the Loop terrace apres-ski, as part of the TignesFest. Today overcast, but the resort fully open, though the lower slopes suffering from the warmer temperatures.

Glad to hear the snow is still good, I am flying out tomorrow for another short trip with Mountain Sun and I am really looking forward to it.
