Ok we all know the story so far this yr regarding the snow.....
I just wanted too take my hat off already to the fantastic job the pisteurs ( is this the right word ) do on a daily basis.... Just looking at the cam for val thoren and they already have the main runs open through and around the village which considering we haven't had snow yet is pretty amazing.
Without these guys doing such an amazing job we wouldn't be able to enjoy what we LOVE !
Big respect :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Take my hat off..... Pisteurs, we thank you

Echo that crispy ..
And, fingers crossed, dancing done, sacrifices offered etc.
Their work load will be immense next week if/when the real snow arrives.

Totally agree. They often do an amazing job, up the mountain in the dead of night.
I've tweaked the title of this thread; perhaps we could post replies when we see impressive results appearing on the webcams?

Been keeping an eye on Val D'isere - the second webcam shows just how much work they are having to do - amazing to see how its transformed!

TSR Video of opening weekend in Zinal...of course the French Alpine Team had already been skiing these slopes for most of November well away from webcams and TV crews!
