cardweg - if I go out I usually head to "The Sherpa"; the Buddha Bar (classic Morzine establishment); Rhodos; the Dixie bar;...
You'll find the lifties in Bar Robinson drinking the hard stuff.

W O W ! ! !
My friends went over today for a couple of days. If they see that forecast, they might just want to stay on for a while and get a slide or two. It sure looks loiike the weather gods are smiling.
Thanks for the other info too. We visited them all, except l'ecurie - I can't quite picture it, last year. It just must have been a quiet week. Oh well, nothing for it but to visit them all again in January 
Cheers!

Snow level this morning is below the top of the Super Morzine Bubble. You know 'they' (the locals) know something when you start to see all the 'big' slowploughs out. The local weather site I look at has this longed for line of text - 'Chutes de neige abondantes voire intenses par moment' - YIPPEEEEEE.
Will keep you updated as it arrives.
Ardent still due to open on 29th November - looking forward to those empty pistes and some powder! If as the meteo say 'Cette puissante offensive hivernale sera probablement à comparer avec les fortes chutes de neige de la fin Novembre 2005.' its going to be as good the early dump of 2005 we are all happy bunnies!

pics are always good.
I have been keeping an eye on the thread of guess the slope, but not recognised any yet.
With so many resorts, then its almost impossible.
Perhaps we should have a guess the slope for each ski area

Lots of lovely white stuff and it's still coming down. have just got back from a family walk around Lake Montriond. Good covering of 20cm+ and with Sunday supposedly producing a bigger dump we should be set for some great skiing next weekend.
Take a look at our blog for the photos.

What are the opening dates for Morzine/Avoriaz, anyone?

Standee, The official word is Avoriaz small sector (Les Lindarets/Arare) on the weekend of 6th. Morzine/Les Gets a week later.
But, with the amount of snow we have received this weekend it is eminently possible they will get some sectors open next weekend.
Last year Les gets opened one sector early for one free day. Valley D'aulps newsletter said they may open 29th if snow permitted, which I think it should now.
But they do like to save most of the area for the festive period, got to look after the guests first 
Fingers crossed, will advise as soon as we get a definate date.

Hi chaps, the snow has stopped, the sun is out and it is looking lovely out. I've had to clear a fair bit of snow of my steps a couple of times over the last couple of days. Sadly the dump wasn't quite as heavy as some were predicting, but it wasn't bad and the mountains certainly look skiable from top to bottom. More snow is forecast overnight and tomorrow (Monday) so my touring skis will be out on Tuesday! First turns of the season....can't wait!
Morgins is planning to open next weekend (29 November) - good effort to them getting things started so early once again.
I'll post some pics from the tops on Tuesday or Wednesday. I expect I will have a big smile on my face!

Snowmonkey, grrr.
Have a good touring day!
As I'll be in Morzine for the New Year, I'll be more than happy to hook up with the locals (or other snowhead visitors) for turns, lift-served offpiste, touring etc. (I've got the safety gear and I'm ok in most conditions offpiste).
If anyone wants to show me around (it's my first visit to the Portes du Soleil), I can repay the kindness with Belgian beer.
