Blown off the hill today. Vent Fort means nothing is open in the glacier. Not surprised as very windy, even down here in Tignes Les Boisses.

Hi Guys,
I been looking to go on a ski course last week Nov or first week December, I am always a little concerned about ski conditions early season having been to Verbier once, with only two piste open!  In general how much gets opened in Tignes first weeks of the season and is the off piste worth doing (without wrecking skis on rocks)!
Thanks

Of the 4 seasons I did in Tignes (2005/06 trough to 2008/09), the worst official opening day of the Espace Killy ie last Saturday of November was 2006/07, though even then you could ski from the top of the Grande Motte down to Val Claret - 4400 feet vertical. Generally most of the Espace was available on opening day.

Next time anyone one of you is up on the Tignes glacier, could you pop over to the webcam and move that thingy that has fallen over the lens. Bottom cam, scroll around, what is it?

I don't know who rob@rar could be talking about - a dry sherry before dinner and a small glass of sweet white with my meal  |
It's important to set the record straight, so you're quite right, that's what you had before the evening meal. My apologies for any confusion about what you drank before dinner.
BTW, how many shots of one concoction or another did you have after dinner?

cathy, it is a source of amazement to me that you managed to ski so well the following day!

rob@rar, you and me both! I think I and betterinblack were in competition as to who could go the whitest that day - he beat me hands down when he took his first mouthful of lunch

Just had a quick look at the webcams and no snow in Le Lac just yet, but I see there is a dusting in Val Claret now and the top of the Tov has snow. I don't know how long that's been there (on the Tov) as haven't looked at webcams in a couple of weeks. Good to see anyhow

VolklAttivaS5, snow to very low altitudes today - around 1300m? It won't stay though.

Maybe - forecast looks nice for next week though, so hopefully it might stick around for a little while.

milky, looks like a cold week next week. I won't be there until quite a few weeks after opening weekend so there should be a fair bit by then.

not round our altitudes it won't, it was 21 degrees just a few days ago; the ground is pretty warm. But it was nice to go for a walk through snowy woods.

| Arrived in Tignes middle of the night with no major problems. A small rolling block outside Calais but nothing serious. Decided to keep topping the fuel up when half empty instead of running low. No problems buying fuel except just south of Lyon when some pumps were dry but no restrictions. |
Thanks for the info. Driving to Paris on Saturday and hoping the petrol situation doesn't get worse this week.
Have a great season in Tignes. Will try to meet up in the Alpaka

stewart woodward,
Hi stewart. good to hear that you're back. How is the shoulder that you crocked at the end of last season?
We will be in Tignes for Xmas (19th to 26th) so hope to see you and Mrs. W then. We'll be in the Aguille so no trouble wobbling home from the Alpaka. 
Really does look "wintry" on the cams today so fingers crossed for another great season in the Espace Killy. See you soon, George and Claire.
