Done.
We used to call it Villard Wreck Yer Ass due to that drag lift you used to take to get over to AdH.

We ski from Vaujany, and no-one there has a good thing to say about the idea - but I don't think it would be practical for us to use - probably quicker to drive most of the time, and a full day's skiing to be had rather than a couple of hours using this. What do the Alpe d'Huez and Auris users think (and Oz, and Villard Reculas)? And what about the locals?
Smells like a vanity project to me.

Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but. Does anyone know if it will still be possible to do the short helicopter transfers between Alpe D'Huez and Les Deux Alpes this winter?

I can't see why not it's been going for many years. Not seen anything to the contrary.
It's only for skiing though, you can't take luggage over.

No, not the middle of winter but this morning on the l'alpe d'Huez webcam

Can you post a link for that cam? It looks like it is from the top of the DMC, and I haven't seen it before

and another shot from the same webcam just now (16 oct 2019 / 2700 meters), looks slightly deeper today maybe 5-10cm ?

Had a wonder up at the weekend. Looks good from about 2000m up.
Snow warnings for today always gets me excited!
CHUTES DE NEIGE LOCALEMENT ABONDANTES EN MONTAGNE :
En montagne, les chutes de neige s'annonce très hétérogènes. La frontière italienne et l'extrême Sud de la région seront particulièrement touchés tandis que d'autres secteurs pourront rester au sec. On attend ainsi pour cette journée de jeudi :
- 30 à 40 cm de neige sur l'Oisans, la Haute-Maurienne localement 50 cm, ces mêmes valeurs seront observées sur le Vercors mais dès 1100/1300 mètres.
- 25 à 35 cm de neige en Sud-Maurienne (Thabor, Galibier ...) et Grandes-Rousses au-dessus de 1700 mètres. Ces mêmes valeurs seront observées en Chartreuse dès 1100/1200 mètres.
- 15 à 25 cm de neige en extrême Sud de la Haute-Tarentaise.

@Alpinebear, To be honest I probably don't want to know as I have zero chance of getting anywhere near Alpe d'Huez this weekend

Dunno, won't be for my 2 Alpes season pass.

Sorry, I meant yes it is ok for this weekend.
I doubt 2 Alpes as Grand Galaxie hasn't started yet.

Just booked for 1 night in Vaujany followed by a week in ADH in April. First time there for at least 15 years!

With crappy weather all weekend I didn't bother heading over

Skied today which was not too bad considering the rain yesterday.
Snow from 2100 up was good. Signal and Marcel's farm decent enough.
Nice to get the first winter ski done with it being the 24th November an added bonus.

As forecast the weather system has arrived. Pouring down in Bourg which means dumping down up in resort. A great week of skiing to come!

Paperwork ditched for the morning to get up the mountain and enjoy the conditions.
Blue sky day with super snow and very quiet pistes. Still the odd rock off piste but things looking great so far.
As others have mentioned more snow due next week.

Should be super in resort today. Looks like it snowed most of yesterday, even down to Bourg at 720m
Been a great start to the season so far. Auris and Villard open on Saturday.

More snow this afternoon and tonight. Then the big snow storm on Friday. Hopefully Saturday's snow/rain level drops a little.
One of the best starts to the season since I moved here in 2012.

As predicted the bad weather has arrived. The snow level slowly coming down as I've watched from the ski pass office. Down to between 1600 and 1700 m.
Interesting to see what the next few days bring.

Snow level now about 1300m
Dumping it down all morning
