Billo, last skid on Sunday and as skimum, it was busy........ clients said yesterday that the pistes were in an awesome shape and great condition but that the off piste had been hit heavily on Sunday by the Genevois!!
We're currently sitting on/just above the cloud line and the temperature is +0.1c.......................... the forecast is for more snow tonight and then clear but cold through to next Monday which will be good for the pistes.
WHen are you coming adn where areyou staying?

I have booked transfers for 12 return for ~€650 with a company called Geneva Airport Transfers for transfers the week before you to Samoens - the communication from them has been brilliant including recommendations for a local patisserie and snow reports! If there transfer service is anything like their customer service, they should be fantastic!
Sorry, in case you didn't realise, Samoens is also in the Grand Massif hence the reply!

Conditions are great. Toured the whole area today and all the pistes I skied were in good nick apart from the velarge down to the bottom of Samoens, which was rocky in patches.

FAQ
It was quiet saturday and conditions following the fresh snow were excellent, although the links were closed due to high winds. I don't do off piste but the pistes in Morillon/Les Carroz were in great condition. Sunday was busier with blue skies bringing the locals out, but nothing like new year's crowds. Not all the pistes in Les Carroz were open although I'm not sure why coz they looked in fab condition - perhaps they're saving them for something???? On monday there was a problem with the gondola in Les Carroz and it wasn't working but as we access the area in Morillon it didn't matter to us. Although not perfect blue skies, yesterdays skiing was my favorite, pistes nicely bashed and very quiet, no lift queues - 2 coffee/vin chaud stops and a late lunch - couldn't be better. Can't wait to go back in 2 1/2 weeks although, being half term, it will be rather busier
