My landlord, a grizzled Chamoniarde, is big on his Janvril lore and is more often than not proven correct. Let's hope so.

Snowing here most of the day but very wet snow in resort at 1650m. Real deal starts this evening down here but there must be plenty falling up the mountain already.

Just had an email from AREA saying there was a snowmaggedon[TM] event at the moment on the roads, but checking google maps I can't see anything more than the usual rush hour jams. However if you are traveling between Lyon / Grenoble or Chambery or in the Savoie at altitude this evening check for blockages.

@Claude B, PLUS ONE having more than a few welcome the snow God drinks. In fact have jusr deneiged the terrace for a glass of decent red

@davidof, it's going to have to snow a lot for that to be an issue. That said ski tour Vallons Fontenil is a sensible option in the trees but do need another 35cm to make that viable. Or skin up closed pistes

Really difficult to make a call as in the valley at 1400m it has been puking down large feather snow flakes but temps are positive so consolidating really quickly.
That said did deneige the bar terrace in exchange for a glass of crozes-hermitage and van was not too bad though roads lethal with that slippery catch you off guard snow on the road.
Passed on driving up my hill and left van below.
WhatsApp texts going off about the morning, but as ever Wait and See is the best strategy.
For those stuck in the office tomorrow hope FOMO is not too bad
PS twice now have had to clear to the satellite dish of heavy wet snow
PPS now three times
Snow's a falling

Snowing in Basel here this morning! It only snows here a couple of times a year and I definitely wasn't expecting it in April.

@davidof, lifts scheduled to open here - a fair amount of blasting going on.
First lifts order of the day, reckon has to be a good 40+ up the hill and all importantly staying cold so not the usual Avril SerreMent hopefully
Also wind not too bad - now time to dig van out

50cm or so in resort, from photos I've seen about a meter higher. Still snowing lightly with very little visibility. Lifts slowly opening. Tomorrow will be nice.

@davidof, you been sticking pins in an effigy of me
We were about 16th on the chair and was still snowing heavily as we went up, we opted for the piste as that looked like it had 20cm on a bashed piste whilst to the sides was circa 50cm.
As soon as we started the descent knew it was on the heavy side, many a good snowboarder (UCPA instructors no clients) was having to straight line it, if you went into the deep on the side it was really heavy and you needed a steeper gradient.
It was a good descent and no complaints.
Next run opted for the old drag lift that they took out in the summer, this is really steep in places, but again was having to straight line at times and then just as I was getting some nice deep turns ended up bottoming out into a deep snow hole with half a ton of snow engulfing me that quickly set, so much so that OH had to dig my skis out for me which were still attached, would not have been much fun if I'd been on my own!
As ever what are mates for if only to take a photo
After that did a few more runs and a few were good, but it was turning to "Serrement" really fast, we could not go higher as all the top lifts were closed due to avy risk.
Also heard that La Grave was closed due to high winds along with probably more snow than us, so just as well we did not go to Monetier as that would have been mobbed with La Gravers who are there for the Derby which was obviously cancelled for today!
Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
Temps are fluctuating (was meant to be far colder -6) when we came down they were +6 they've now dropped to +3.5 and wind looks like it's picking up, here we go again

Yes la Grave was closed.
I measured just under 60cm at 1500 meters altitude. 30cm at 900 meters.
