I must say all the webcams are looking lovely and snowy at the moment.
Suddenly the resorts are starting to look like ski resorts again. YAY.
Seems to be FREEZING out there at the moment too, and getting colder.

Does anyone know when the Champagny Bubble opens. Is it Sat 11th or Sat 18th?
Seems to be mixed information on the various websites. Previous seasons it was advertised that La Plagne opens the week before the satelite resorts, but they open a few lifts to gain access to the higher areas.

Whats the weather like in La Plagne? It's been looking good on the web cams until this week!
Were flying to Chambery then on to Belplagne on the 20th - looks like it just needs a bit more snow? 
Cheers

snowcrazy, boredsurfin is correct, the link from Champagny isn't open until the 18th December. I was in the tourist office last week and despite the good conditions at the time, they confirmed they weren't opening until the 18th. They told me last Friday they had 70 cms of snow at the top of the gondola at 2000 metres

Now why are your buses running until after midnight and ours stop by 10pm most nights. That is so not fair.

Just returned from a cracking week (and was lucky to get back to Gatwick by all accounts!).
Very good conditions after some mid-week snow. Whoever's there for Christmas week will have a brilliant time.
Seriously freezing though.

Bus to Bellcote then the Arpetet chair and ski down is my guess.

Libertine, From 1800 should take you 30 mins tops to get to the Vanoise- into Bellcote Arpette up and down to the Vanoise follow the signs you can do blue red or black

conditions are not bad. skiied over to les coches. mostly hard packed with loose stuff on top cut upp from people turning, got a bit thin in the last 100 metres vert into les coches.
champagny side is very heavy and suffering from exposed stones, we'd planned to do the new mont de la guerre from verdons sud but decided to drop back into plagne centre.
very warm, it's about +6 and the icicles and snow are melting on our apartment roof. could do wit the snow forecast for tonight

got up to the glacier today, brillant up there. snow is lovely. few flakes falling through the day but nothing worth getting excited about.
derecoir still shut as is mont de la guerre down to champagny. few pisete shut around montalbert too but not been there yet
snow getting thin in the very busy areas around the villages, fingers crossed the promised snow arrives tonight. away from the villages it's in better shape, at least

Snow arrived today, I reckon about 4 or 5 cm overnight but it's kept going all day so maybe 10 or 12 cm in total. It's refreshed everything that's open, still plenty closed though like most of the blacks, quite a lot around montalbert. Went to montchavin today and even with the new snow it was ropey below the vanoise express.
There's still an icy base under all the fresh snow on top so I'll be avoiding the off-piste - saw a slab avalanche let go today just near the top of coqs chair, looked like the kids from the montalbert ski team were off piste and after half a dozen had skiied down safely, the snow pack went ubnder the next to set off and took two of them down the hill. seemed to be about 14" deep and ran about 300m. The instructor was there already and the pisteurs arrived within minutes, I checked later and no-one was hurt thankfully.
temperature has really dropped so the new snow should be in perfect condition for some great Christmas skiing
