Thanks :) http://www.sauzeonline.com/mountain-chatter/weve-just-begun/. Here's the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-WCn8PzwmY&feature=youtu.be And this is what they say: Posted on Saturday, December 13th, 2014 at 4:57 pm. Today we were finally able to ski in Sauze d'Oulx! You no doubt will be aware that the opening date of the 6th December was postponed due to the conditions, a fait that many ski resorts across Europe shared. Still many remain closed waiting for that first significant snowfall. Thankfully the Milky Way was blessed with some snow at altitude in November and early December before warm air and rain seemed likely to ruin it all. The past week or so the temperatures have dropped allowing the snow cannons to operate which has made a big difference. Today limited skiing was available from Sportinia (2100mts) upwards. Only 4 lifts were open and we were restricted to just skiing Sauze but it was great to be finally up there. The pistes that were open were firm without being icy and the coverage was good. It was a pity that the link to Sestriere wasn't open as I'm sure that there will be enough snow in the bowl and beyond but I guess you have to keep in mind that one of the busiest times of the season is only a few weeks away and with no snow on the horizon the lift company will be doing all they can to preserve what we have. |

Sauze must have opened, because you can see people on skis in the webcam photos :)
http://www.sauzeonline.com/sauze-doulx-webcam/ Here's one today, of Sportinia. I expect it's mostly artificial snow but never mind, at least it's skiable! :)  |

Well done for finding some snow and I'm really pleased you're having a great time :) |

OK I've added you now. Let's hope the snow improves for you :) |

Are you planning on travelling to another resort with snow each day? I know there's a public bus from La Rosiere to Bourg St Maurice, because I've been on it and it takes around half an hour, and from there you could get the funicular to Les Arcs. |
