Ok, I am probably being paranoid - or am I?
I am off to Val Thorens on 14 Jan and the web cams are showing a very bare resort....
Is this usual? I normally book a lot closer so have never looked at web cams this early :cry: :thumbdown:

I've been for the last 3 yrs at the same time and once the week before and there was tons of snow..... So much so they were moving it out of the centre of VT in the back of trucks....
Im 99.9% sure you have nothing to worry about.

I'm off to Val D'Isere on 9 Dec but am quite relaxed about the lack of snow. I've gone around then most years for the last 6 or 7 years. It's always arrived in time. Was a little close on one occasion but the snow usually arrives a week to 10 days before scheduled opening.
I've had more problems with too much snow than too little!
Weather forecast is for temperatures to drop next week so the snow cannons will be on by next weekend.
By mid Jan there will have been a couple of meters of the real stuff!

So are we, how weird!! Dont worry though as apparently its one of the best places for guaranteed snow. We went to Mottaret at the same time 2 years ago so dropped over to Val Thorens and the snow was fantastic so I really dont think we need to work, it is still very early and hopefully if we look at Christmas it will be fab.

Chill and don't worry. The white stuff always comes but it won't start until the end of the month(21st onwards)
