Excellent weather for sport climbing in the valley above Monetier a week ago. 
But now that the Summer is done....let's hope for a good ski season. And a safe one.

Some 'weather' on the webcams this morning, but the visibility is too bad to actually see anything on those that are working. Looks like it could be some white stuff though.

Hells Bells, that's right I tried to embed those webcams here before - as many resorts have them now. It does not work on this forum- even though they show some link for embeding next to Facebook/Twitter sign. Shame.

Me too now. Such a great place but as I can only go for one week a year I make myself try out a different place each time. (Wouldnt have found Serre Cherre if not) But will definitely return someday.

Ah - we might be heading home then. Our first winter driving trip. Got the snowchains last week and he who shall remain nameless has been practising putting them on [the car that is].

Snow is apparently falling this morning, check out the Serre Ratier livecam, as the others show nothing but white.

There's the Pi Mai www.lepimai.com though my understanding is the rest of the village is closed up.

Hells Bells, it does work as the anemometer is pointing in a different direction to yesterday, and the timestamp is also up to date.
Thanks for showing Le Pi Mai, looks amazing. We're staying in Chantemerle but it just looks like a boring walk to the lift station, I fancy at least 1 night of ski-in and out.
Are the villages skiable at all or are the roads all cleared? I was spoilt last year with ski-in/out!

clong, you can ski down to all the villages as they are good at keeping the artificial snow topped up on the home runs. And from my experience of looking at the resort at this time of year, it has got good cover for the start of the season. You can certainly get down to Chantemerle for sure as they keep the Alphand topped up with artificial snow what with it being the big name black in the resort. Same for Villeneuve and Monetier. Usual caveats though of can get icy/slushy/pebbly if snow is thin.
Not sure what you mean about the roads being cleared. The main route through is kept open and the routes round the main hubs are usually passable after a dump. It is their business remember - if the punters can't get to the lifts, then they don't make money. If you are in Chantemerle I'd guess you'll be in staggering distance of the main lifts up to Ratier as it seems the most compact village though it is a long time since I have stayed there. Where are you staying?

MarjMJ, I was wondering if he thought he could ski around the village? clong, the main road will be cleared. There are shops and businesses at the bottom of the lifts in Chantemerle, and a village navette bus service. You won't be able to ski back to your accommodation unless it is right at the side of the piste. There is only a small number of places where that is possible, but most accommodation is only a short walk.
