On the snow front, was looking at a friends pics of the last few days and plenty of blue sky everywhere and not much sign of snow below 2500m. But it is forecast to get colder and snow later in the week, maybe. If we get another week of this we might have to start doing the snow dance or we might not have a base by 10 December.

For all you need to know about Les Arcs on facebook. (Public access)

Hi everyone, for those interested in news of the new Mont Blanc Chair in Arc 1600. They have been running the safety tests and all looks well. The chair is now almost finished. The Cachette Chair now has the entrance on the opposite side facing away from this lift to encourage all those from the Funi to use the new lift. Interesting idea.

Now this is finished. Please let it snow. If you want to see the photos, please go to my 'Les Arcs Winter' facebook page, link below. Thanks to the man with the dogs for the photos and info.

When is it going to snow? :( I check the forecast about 4 times a day (I know, I need therapy) and in the morning it shows snow on the horizon but then by the afternoon they've changed their minds! Very frustrating........

Here is my first snow update.

For all those checking for daily updates. Looking out the window there is a dusting of snow higher up this morning. A start, now we need a lot more!!

Remember to check my daily posts on 'Les Arcs Winter' facebook page link below.

Today's weather update. Although there has been some snow overnight, it is still only a dusting coming down towards the valley and it is quite wet.

HOWEVER higher up in the resort stations there seems to be a few cm's now with more forecast for the next few days. At the top this should start to give a base that is needed to allow at least a few pistes to be prepared for the opening weekend. We must just keep our fingers crossed that it now stays cold.

Take a look at the webcams listed in an earlier post. It is at least starting to look white around the mountains now.

If you do not have the links to the web cams. Come and 'like' my Les Arcs Winter facebook page and join the group. Daily updates will now be posted as the season is about to begin. Click on the facebook link below.

I will also be posting a summary of the updates here in the evenings.

Now I have a question to anyone. How do I post pictures direct to this thread? If you can explain it to me in a simple way, I will try to add pics sometimes if it can be done direct.
