Ha, at least it wasn't that bad!
I'm surprised the "innuendo police" didn't spot roscoeh's last sentence:

Not that I'm complaining about the amount of snow in Tignes this year, but last year I got caught out with no snow in another French resort so decided next year I'll go to Colorado for guaranteed snow. So I go on the 8th Feb. As of today no snow! (well, poor snow conditions anyway) Unbelieveable. I only managed Xmas in Tignes so far this year. It was good though.

About six inches of fresh in Boisses and woken by the snow ploughs digging out the road. Clouds now clearing for what should be an epic day.

Lots of new snow - 30 to 40cm. Still windy, and limited lifts open. It was alittle bit sunny with some blue sky earlier, but by the time the lifts opened (about 10am) it was back to cloud / blowing snow and poor viz. Its snowing again now .
Pisteurs were practicing evacs from the Aeroski in lac 
Downhill from Austria looks interesting - awesome Couche!!

Sorry I didnt get over there today to look. If it is open it is unlikely to be so for long. The next two days look to be bringing quite a bit of snow.

Pleasantly good visibility yesterday despite a slightly gloomy forecast - 10cm of fresh fluff off piste with a bit more in gullies & hollows. Cold though - but only a 'warm-up' for the temps predicted end of week!!

We'll be staying in Val D'Isere for the week from 11th March. It's the week the X Games are on. Does anyone know if there'll be transport laid on to get punters back from Tignes to Val D'Isere after the night events? Really want to experience the whole thing. Also, should we get tickets for X Games before we go or get them there.
The T.O. doesn't have any information on it.

Staying in Tignes Le Lac for a week, arrived yesterday. A pretty good first day on the slopes cruising blues and reds around Tignes and Brevieres. Snow in very good condition, but the light was flat for much of the day. Been snowing lightly for the last hour.

I got back last night from 11 days at Les Melezes. Have had some great days and didn't have a single day that I didn't get out. Mornings were often best with light snow falling on many afternoons.
Yesterday was one of the best days and we went over to Fornet. There was fresh powder everywhere and the viz was excellent, with the sun breaking through for most of the day. In the trip I had several solid blue bird days but yesterday was a great finish.
Why no one has been to Fornet is beyond me. It is Powder Valley at the moment.

bar shaker, we went over to Fornet a couple of times last week. One day was EPIC and the other was a complete waste.(could only see a few yards in front of you and meant a slow ski down to Signal trying to spot the piste markers in the gloom).
Incidentally, on the "good" day the new restaurant over there was packed inside and out. It seems to be drawing more people to the area. Still has to be one of my favourite areas of the E-K though.

After yesterday's new snow, its looking like a perfect bluebird day - not a cloud in the sky. Should be a perfect day!

stewart woodward Tignes.net says -17c this morning...  . A bit chilly to say the least.
It's not exactly toastie at home either. About -5c overnight and vehicles covered in frost this morning.

So what is the weather like out there currently? Has intermittent light snow generally been the trend?

The cold clear weather is continuing with a very slight amount of snow yesterday afternoon and last night. Not really enough to make a great difference but the pistes are in a great condition so there is no need to worry about any new snow.
The forecast for the beginning of next week is clear and cold so all you guys coming for half terms holidays should have a good time. Be sure to checkout the events programme for next week as there are lots of FREE events during the week. The events vary from ice skating, sumo wrestling to some free music concerts in Val Claret.

Cable car has reopened. The incident was probably caused by the anti-icing scraper derailing the main pulleys

Another slight covering of snow overnight.
This weeks forecast is for bright sunny days but still very cold so wrap up you kids. The pistes are in excellent condition and whilst the off piste is well skied there are still good pitches to ski if you know where to look

FAQ
The temperatures are still low but if you follow the sun it is not too bad.
Maybe this will change next week when the Parisian holidays start.
The snow cannons were working Friday night/Saturday morning to top up those busy areas and ensure they have good cover.
