Potentially interested. Tempted to return late on Monday?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I think the forecast is very bad for next weekend, something to check out.

Looks busy, great to see so many out late in the season. Is it rain or snow? Looks like snow from the roofs but wet in general?
How come Monday is the final day, its not a bank holiday in France I assume (I assume that's today?). Will it be full service on the Monday or lifts finishing early for a party?

Where are you looking? Everything I've seen seems to suggest good on Fri/Sat, bit more variable on Sun.

Yeah I’ve been constantly checking VT forecast and it’s looking crazy wet and warm later this week. Looks like it’s an itch that’s gonna have to go unscratched till Nov!!
Should have been out 2 weeks ago, but then I’d only been back from ADH 2 weeks previously… wonder if the doctor can give me something for this affliction!!

it is a bit over the place at the moment, unsettled. Maybe Saturday will be ok now.

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

@jmr59, ah! And was today a bank holiday too?
@Papapete, hintertux has a lot open and could be skiing well for a bit yet

Think Val d isere looks more favourable and bit less money than VT at minute. Think Sat is the last day there tho. Early flight out Thursday maybe a few hours skiing in afternoon then big days Friday and Saturday home Sunday morning! Itch scratched and no too much time away from the coalface!

You know it makes sense.

To be fair Austria would be my 1st choice but flights from local airports aren’t great for us. We’ve 2 flights per day to Geneva from Edinburgh and couple per week to Lyon.
