for example some locals opened a lift at le Grand Bornand for themselves.

@BobinCH You're just across the lake from me, am near Yvoire / Nernier, come over on the paddle board / speedboat some day...
All of the frontaliers living here have to show their work permit to cross into Swiss but there are no checks coming back in.
Chamonix FL's, a little warmer than Avoriaz....the extra 1000m altitude will help but probably going to warm up quickly after 12th

I note the Forecast low of minus 9 on Ben Nevis during Sunday morning. Probably not exceptional in its long term record but notable perhaps in these post climate change times.

Well first day of the easing of lock-down, Monday, May 11th weather looks foul here in Serre Che, however maybe above 2,100 might be some white stuff, so could be a possibility Tuesday up on the Combeynot?
And please tell me what the value of taking the Aiguille du Midi is going to be this time of year unless you like a very long walk out/hike back up to the train, or are hoping to summit Mont Blanc or stay up in a hut/ ski mountaineering* etc?
And last time I think I paid circa €65
*then you'll need a guide

Still quite a bit of snow depth above 2000 meters but heavily suncupped and dirty, not sure it would do the bases any good.

Looks like 5-10 ski resorts, such as Hintertux, are now partially reopened across North America, Western Europe, and Nordics.
Should hit 10-15 by mid-June.

Kanin, in Slovenia, near the Italian border, was the last ski resort to officially close in Eastern Europe this season, on May 31, 2020.
Gassan, in Japan, has reopened this week.
Afriski, in Lesotho, southern Africa, hoping to open in a week or two.
