Hi All
Off to Verbier in 2 weeks and just wondered how good the conditions are. I would like to know if its possible to ski back to to the town or the Medran lift.

It is at the moment but the snow is very wet and slushy. It's been raining all night, snowline is probably 1900m or so. Snow above 2200 is good although yesterday and today most of the higher lifts (Funispace, Jumbo etc) closed due to high avalanche risk. I would think that when they eventually deem it safe to open the lifts then the snow will be superb higer up on Mont Fort and Attelas. Skiied Savoleyres yesterday and the snow was OK down to about 1900, then started to get very heavy

Superb day yesterday, loads of snow higher up, plenty of sun. Slushy lower down but still possible to ski into Medran. Front of Savoleyres looking brown lower down due to high temps (was +6 at midday at Ruinettes - 2200m). Avalanche risk has been downgraded to 3 today but still need to be wary off piste as snow variable and according to the guides poorly bonded. Off piste snow is quite heavy and moist especially lower down but still quite nice to ski in. Pretty good up top however. Weather for rest of week is meant to be intermittent snow with temps dropping towards the end of the week. Was initally predicted a big fall on Wednesday but this seems to have been changed to a more moderate fall.

Snowing now, at resort level all the way to the top. Just skied down in it. 
Even after yesterdays warm spell all pistes above 1800m are fantastic.

Anything above 2000m is superb! No off-piste really but some surprising fun in lots of places. Tortin is amazing, a little rocky up top but snow is tip-top. Did Rock Garden this morning, quite a treat. Some moderate snowfall tonight, may freshen things up further, not much due after that for a few days, maybe some more sun.
I skinned up to the Monastery at Col de St Bernard on Wednesday. Powder was wind packed but still some worthy turns.
Enjoy it's good... PM me your numbers in case we should happen on a beer...

Apparently, from next year France comes in line with the UK and NAmerica. No smoking in restaurants. That'll be a real shock to everyone there.....

. The snow in Savoleyres was lovely yesterday morning as well (apart from the front side).
.
Friday onwards was amazing though and we loved the Tortin run. The fresh snow from Friday night was a real treat as well
