@negativeyardage, doubt it!
It’s not very user friendly
Might consider taking it out before deadline then re parking to gain the “ first” free 2 hours if that makes sense

Just back. Great snow higher up very wet lower down. Had to give in when the water finally penetrated everything. Not too many folk left on the mountain.

Not a lot to see at the top of Toviere @battlecat  And not much new snow yet, looking at the rooftops.

Probably 4 to 5” of fresh at mid station, but pretty humid. We don’t do pictures!

Finally closed the runs to Les Breviers.

It’s been snowing / raining most of the day in le lac (got soaked this morning following my son on his lesson!) but seems to have cooled a bit in the last hour and snow is finally settling at resort level.

Snowing in Les Brévières heavily now too.
Felt sorry for the wee ones I'm ski school on the Les Brévières nursery slope when I was heading home.

Starting to stick on the roads in VC. Could well be restricted openings tomorrow, with what is still forecast.

Looking at the Avi Report tomorrow and the amounts of snow that could arrive to the East of the EK, I could easily see the Fornet and Pissailas sectors being locked down tomorrow.
Just when they thought opening the Col de L’Iseran would be easy this year!

chatting to ESF peeps, they reckon tomorrow is a similar (or actually worse) one to today. so tempted to spend some "smart" coins on the destocking operation some of the shops are running. Any suggestions whats a good bet for grabbing a real bargain (ideally an offpiste ski and/or good quality gloves)?

@negativeyardage, in my experience, true bargains are rare here, unless you go for ex-demo skis, which you could trawl the shops for something that suits you. Better value from Sport Pursuit.

Went out over Creux and Edelweiss at about 15:30. Deep heavy snow and only a few nutters like me around. Didn’t try Johann Clarey as was put off by sticky slush on Palafour earlier.

Had a 17:00 warrior in our family out at the top of Toviere to be the last one down, he loved it. Too snowy for me, I get bad dizziness when there's no definition to see.
There's at least 10cm on our balcony in VC tonight, and when I went out for a run at about 19:00 it was ankle deep all around, but very wet. Tomorrow could be a challenge all round!

Looks like everything will be closed, at least to start with - probably all day. Road down the valley is closed. Folk asked to stay indoors.

Probably easier to measure the snow fall in feet over night, road to the resort closed, ski area closed going off the app.

Looks like lifts are scheduled to open. Seems ambiguous as the message to not move between stations etc and then has the egg timer on many lifts / pistes after PIDA. Link to Val closed however

@Alex A, the head pisteur has said on the radio that they are highly unlikely to open, but there is a security meeting taking place around now. Apparently 135cm has fallen since it started yesterday.

Piste bashers working hard on the area around the magic carpet in Lac. No sign of them going any higher though. Snowplough has been round twice but you wouldn’t know!

One consideration will be how they get any potential casualties out with the road closed and helicopters unable to fly.

@benboski, it is a case of be careful what you wish for. It does occasionally happen here, but rarely quite this much this late.

They are going to try and open the magic carpets and the Lavachet drag, but nothing else at the moment.

MF have just upped the Avi Risk to 5.
As far as I am aware that precludes a legal opening of ski lifts.
Time to dig the scrabble board out.
215cm at Pissailas

@chocksaway, we’ll they have opened the central magic carpet and ESF have been trying to reorganise classes for small kids. Some of the instructors are of course trapped down the valley.
