Quote off the official Val Thorens Facebook page yesterday morning:-
Setam Val Thorens Tours Hi, next week (from Dec. 17th) all the lifts should be open, hopefully. It also depends on the weather conditions this coming week, as we expect some snowfalls. This week we will open gradually, as some runs must be safe (it takes time when you get 1 m of fresh snow in 3 days!). But it is mild for 2 days and the snow under 2000 m (only 2 half pistes in Val Thorens!) has already partially melted, and our only lift starting at 1800m (Plan de l'Eau) could not open.
Mmmmmelt?!?!?!

Rain forecast up to about 1600m this coming week.
Not unusual, unexpected or even that worrying really.

Temperatures will be up and down a bit for a few days, but nothing unusual, and look stabilising below the seasonal average (i.e. being bl**dy cold) for the second half of December. 8)
As you were.

I think the lesson to heed is to seriously consider whether pre Xmas skiing is a good idea.

Booking more than a week in advance is a worry. Personally i would not do it. Prefer freezing January and mild March!

I hope to be skiing on the 24th December - & I think that's a brilliant idea! Even if there's no snow & I can't ski, I still think not being here is a brilliant idea!!
:D
The plan is.... there's no plan!

I can think of nothing worse than booking a ski holiday and not being able to ski. I'm sure you'll be fine though.Salski wrote:Tony_H wrote:I think the lesson to heed is to seriously consider whether pre Xmas skiing is a good idea.
