Same as you do when there is too much snow and nothing is open. This was the case for the first 4 days of a holiday I had in Verbier in February 1999. Same week as the terrible Galtur avalanche disaster.

There was a lot of talk about skiing and beer drunk!!
Just one for the Frog!!

Try some of these.

1. Check out if there is a resort within daily travelling distance that you can go to.

2. If there is any snow at all - consider cross country skiing.

3. If the resort is cold enough - are there skating rinks or curling rinks? Ice Hockey?

4. Check your travel insurance to see if there's 'no snow' cover and then imagine how you'll spend your £50/equivalent.

5. Take a pack of cards and a backgammon set with.

6. Take swim gear with and seek out pools.

7. Consider hiking in the mountains. Mountain biking?

8. Take plenty of money for 'refreshments'.......

(I know. It's dire being in a ski resort and not being able to ski - which includes when all is closed owing to too much snow - but at least it looks nice and you can have a snowball fight!!!)

Local forecast for Chamonix tomorrow: precipitation - continuous and moderate in the morning - showers in the afternoon - rain-snow limit towards 2000 m, dropping towards 1300 m at night - expected snowfall towards 1800 m : 20-30 cm.

Its coming. Plus its supposed to get colder towards the weekend.

NICE!!!

YAY, we've got some snow on the way (hopefully). I'm off to Les Deux Alpes at new year but worried about what the snow is going to be like. Damn this global warming!!
It manages to move the start of the skiing season every year :cry:

Oh well, at least there is snow coming!
