Why? Loads of snow already and weather was looking nice and sunny perfect.
Forecast has now changed a foot of snow is due to fall on Saturday/Sunday maybe you prefer whiteouts rather than sun?

No, but pictures of les arcs looking a bit like Scotland on a normal day with lotsa rocks. Was in la ros at this time last year and Apart from transfer day and one day midweek had fantastic conditions but it got sloppy in the afternoon with the sun. With the temps that have been had presumed it was getting a bit bare.

Snowforecast.com suggests about an inch of rain in resort level on sunday PM - hope that they're wrong and it comes in as snow.
We're not getting there till feb half term - so have been watching the recent conditions with envy....

I've seen all those photos and it looks fine, there's plenty of cover though they do need a fresh dump and it looks like they will get some on Sunday at present. Be positive I'm sure it will be great.

Les arcs thread, just had a look, maybe less Scottish then first thought (must have been in negative mode) but watching the daily temps not nice. Also ros' faces south and Les arcs I think is n/w facing ( being across the valley from la ros). Ah well, just got to wait until Sunday and see what comes up.

Iam off to La Rosiere on Saturday to, when you posted last night about poor conditions I thought conditions looked great, webcams showed tons of snow even at resort height in le thuille and with dry sunny weather for the start of the week.
Now we have 2 foot of snow on Sunday potential write off day and torrential rain in le thuille and Monday and Tuesday looking unsettled as well, wish the forecast would change back.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@Vintageryan forecast can easily change, kind of like my mood . I may have been spoiled last year, as I said (although i had a hell transfer on that sunday as lots of snow). I had looked at webcams last night too and looked through threads pretty exhaustively so had my doubts about how it all looked.
I apologise to all for my negativity (i think the last year of rain has led me to believe that proper weather doesn't exist). I think the change in weather has been posited from a way out by @weathercam, if that arctic air coming the other way gets in first we'll have snow instead of rain and that will set the slopes up for play.
anyway i will post about being there instead of waiting from sunday on.

Tons of new snow here.
Snowed all last night and today. Has turned to sleet the last hour or so.
Around 2 foot of new snow sitting on the bashed pistes today a struggle to tell the difference between piste and off piste at times, visibility was also poor and the link to Italy was closed.
Tomorrows forecast whilst warm is looking clearer so expect a good day.

You know it makes sense.

Got here late, pleased to see the snow as it was very bleak down lower. Now just waiting for all our helmets, salopetes, socks, helmets, googles and gloves as sleazy jet decided to lose 12 passengers luggage. Travel insurance covers essentials over 12 hours, are essentials all of above?

Been on snow two days now. Bit icy in the morning, then about a 3 hour window of nice pistes when bashed, then carved up and sloppier as it gets warmer though when you come down because of these at least it's soft. Light very good yesterday as mist lifted by 1030 but flat this afternoon and lumps hard to dodge. Apparently supposed to snow from lunchtime tomorrow and overnight from there so if you're coming next week all will be well.

Snowed yesterday and late on today. Lots of lovely white to play on. Bit of a whiteout at times but still skiing from 0930 till near 5 , with lunch, every day, which is why we came. Anyone coming next week should be blessed with nice depth which will take a while to melt, even in the hotter temps(which is actually what i was hoping last week's players would have said, saving me worry and getting grizzled at)
