I thought I would add a little Video of one of my most favourite areas to ski in the trees. Who needs to go to Canada or the USA for tree skiing when we have this in Les Arcs.

Not me in the video, Theo again, he does it all so well. But on a snowy day, you will have a good chance of finding a few of us in this forest. Steep and deep but really fun.

I am pleased to hear the moving floor in Arc 1950 and the rope tow across the flat from the Arcuable to near the snack bar are finished. Not sure about the moving floor up to the Flames above Arc 2000 yet, but I had heard it was well on it's way. Will find out.
If there is anything like the amount of snow we had in Switzerland over in Les Arcs, then next week is going to be great. Powder all weekend, but yesterday it was a blizzard. The fun of touring for you.

One downside, work had to stop on some stuff, but they hope to continue while the weather holds. Still expect to have everything ready for the 11th Dec.
For anyone coming out. There is the Les Arcs Film festival the first week of the season as well. Should be interesting, I attended last year and it was very good and did not effect the skiing or lifts either, in fact it made it better as more was running.
Here is the film festival link if you want to get tickets.

Take a look at the web cams, looking very good. Not long to go now.

Will have a little trip out tomorrow if the weather is not to bad. Getting quite into this skinning stuff now or maybe the snowshoes and ride back down on my board. Well, I do enjoy coming down on un-tracked snow all on my own! I know, very silly going out alone, but ha, life has to be fun!
Not sure if I posted this already. If you want to get your season Carte Neige Insurance in Les Arcs in person, you can only get it from the lift office in Arc 1600. The lift office is in the courtyard area by the shops. You can also buy it when you get your season pass on-line.
