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

@Idris, were you in the Val Veny cable car earlier today with a group? Saw far too many French skiers clogging up the pistes, and a few ESF Chamonix Valley instructors.
Youla was worth the wait. Plenty of fresh still to be found.

@geoffknight, town was busy and so was the hill. Despite the numbers never really queued anywhere apart from Youla cable car. Firm conditions under fresh on piste, variable snow now OP.

Sorry no, nearest I got was on the piste that traverses back to it form the top of Zerotta, where it crosses the red piste. Ducked into the trees for fresh.... Didn't need to ski Youla, just played in the trees, skied untracked most of the day.

I’m here until Saturday and will try and post daily updates. Beautiful blue skies all day today, I’ve not skied here outside of half term before and really enjoyed the quiet pistes, low volume of people and low temps provided good conditions all day long, I’m hoping it stays the same all week.

Tuesday, same as Monday if a little quieter, all good in my book.

Anyone been over to Mont Fortin? Thinking of a day out over there soon (human powered not in a bellypopper).

@geoffknight, what's it like for a nervous intermediate (daughter will need blues for a while, coaxed onto reds hopefully). Piste map looks more red than blue?

@davidmosley, I’d say your assessment is correct, Pra Neyron is lovely though, tree lined most of the ways with a couple of alternative options to take, and a great mountain hut Chez Olier part way down, most of the reds that go back into Plan Checruit are only just reds tbh, if you haven’t booked yet, I’d recommend La Thuil if she is very nervous the main plateau at the top of the gondola is made up of loads of blues some very gentle, other more testing, with some easy reds to move on to.
I’ve been in La Thuile today with similar snow conditions as the past two days and once again not a cloud in sight, lovely conditions to ski in.

Weather app says it’s going to cloud over tonight but no new snow in the forecast.
