A good start to what will hopefully be a week full of the white stuff.
It is possible that the Les Houches lifts will open early - by the end of the week there will be enough snow, not sure about the demand though.
Didn't make it up to Bellevue yesterday, something came up. Tomorrow is a possibility though.



OOOh sounds interesting. keeping my eyes open on the web cams but cant see much movement and getting slightly concerned they are not preparing the pistes for opening weekends ???

Seems there is plenty of snow around now so happy days.


any on the ground feedback of actions and movements would be greatly appreciated.

That can only be good news surely. I just hope they manage to open a little more than last year. Grand montets was only open up to the bochard but mot including. The bochard would have made so much difference. Lets just hope hey....

Wonder how things are looking lower down at les houches ??

Looking insane. About 18inches of snow on the ground at 1000m. Loads higher up.

Roll on Saturday

Big Snow = Bigger Risk

This snow has fallen quickly, and more is due to come. It won't have had time to settle, let alone bind together.

Powder Fever will be easy to catch, but how many folks will stop and assess the slope they want to ski?

Les Houches and Grand Montets open from Saturday until the end of the season. Seems like they will be open all week next week, not just the weekend.

YAY

Awesome and it is listed that the bochard gondola will be opening also whicb i great as last year early season was very limited to a few runs up the grand montet. Lets hope les houches is also ready to go. Think i can officially stop worrying :-)
