Here in the french alps we didn't had a brilliant summer, lots of sushine but lots of snow down to 1600 also !!

It should prepared the ground properly for the winter, it keeps cool and apparently in Tignes it's the best summer since 15 years for the glacier.

Let's hope it's a good sign for the winter with a great cold coat.

Is anyone knows if this kind of summer means a great winter or is it to early to tell ?

Chat you soon !

In a way, lets hope it stays like this throughout Europe - we'll have an amazing winter.

Get me to the slopes!

It snowed again yesterday at 2000m ! We'd better have a good winter, because we haven't really see the summer !!

Yeah we have basically had a non existant summer here, a few warm days here and there but on the hole crap. Today was 15c and drizzly rain, more what i would expect to see in December, not August!!

Here's to an awesome winter :D

I'm coming to Tignes in Mid November. A running commentary on the conditions would be much appreciated. Keep up the good work!
