Serre Che March 2013

Well, last week we had one massive dump for 36 hours, and a couple of smaller ones later on. But in between times the temperature was reported to be between -6c and 0c first thing in the morning in resort, and higher up the mountain.
One afternoon I took a photo of a temperature gauge outside a bar high up above Villeneuve. It was boiling hot and we were stripping off, the gauge showed 35c!!!!!!
Snow was holding up well in Serre Che right up until the last afternoon (Friday 22nd) when it started to break up below 1800m and was suffering badly over on the Briancon side where we skied literally one run and headed back over to Chantmerle where the snow was totally different!!!
It dumped another 30cm the day we left, but I don't know about L2A. I can say that once we drove across the Col du Lautraet from SC to Grenoble, the snow on the ADH/L2A side was significantly less visible along the roads and up the mountains. La Grave looked dreadful.
Cheers
I think he will probably doing as much drinking as skiing so I expect he'll be happy.

Suffice to say the snow was epic with a 2 metre dump over the week including 1.5m the first 2 days!!!!
