The cover is thin, that's for sure. Some snow supposedly arrived today, but it's not the kind snow that will change things. Probably won't even cover bare patches that started to show. At the moment it starts looking like a repeat of December 2014. We got lucky this time with late November snow - had it arrived earlier in November we would have had absolutely the same conditions on the opening day with many resorts unable to open. No snow in December is very regretful because it's the best month for a good base to form - with short days, low sun and low crowds, unfortunately weather didn't want to cooperate again :(

Looking ok in Val d'Isere. I'm feeling pretty relaxed for the Christmas week and there's bound to be more snow in the next 10 days.

Looking a lot better than this time last year for the French Alps from what I can see; a bit of a top up going on this morning (only a few cms but enough to freshen the surfaces). We'll be in Les Arcs next week; we won't be in deep (although mid-week should see a further fall), but pistes are looking good.

It's only better because it snowed just before the opening, so the snow didn't have time to melt like last season; now lets see how long it will take before another major snow. There is hope it will snow next week, Tuesday/Wednesday have been mentioned. This snow is needed, and a general change of pattern is needed too. And it always looks better on webcams :)
