This is the view the missus got when she was doing the dishes this morning
Yes it is skiable, just, about 30-40cm of dense snow with no base. Okay on grassy slopes but rocks to be avoided. Take care higher up as there are accumulations of a meter in places, at least in the Belledonne and with the rapid warming today expect some slides.

Here is a shot from upstairs
You can see the pistes of les 7 laux on the left. The snow is beginning to melt below 1700m but some people profited from the overnight refreeze to get in some vertical this morning. (not me though, stuff to do today).
Yes it is true that Geneva is a bit of a dump view-wise.

I can see Chamrousse from my balcony, and it was looking pretty white this morning. Can't see it while washing up though...

Don't you find the cold/altitude a bit hard for running? Stunning pictures.

You know it makes sense.

davidof, thank you 
It was my first attempt at running at any real altitude, though I run reasonably regularly round the valley floor (1060m) when we're here, and I found it surprisingly straightforward. The running keeps you warm - I took it fairly easy though, and it was so beautiful that I had to keep stopping for pics. Most of the trail was clear (like the balcon pic) so reasonably easy to run on - it was only the really high stuff that was thick (Dru pic) so I walked most of that - too easy to slip. Very enjoyable though, going to look out for some proper trail running shoes I think!

I love the Forbes Singnal and the Grand Jorasses picture - that ought to be an entry in the Snowheads calendar.
