The temps are due to drop so the snow cannons will be fired up.

There's currently 38 runs open in avoriaz, once you are up the mountain it will be better. Yes there will be queues but I have a feeling they will release more lift passes.

At home in dreary England or on holiday in crisp mountain air. No brainer for me

I am off to les gets on 31 jan. Like to think it will be better, if it isn't I will find a pub.

Is that a c&p from a Google search?

To be precise it is at or below -2.6C that it is the most efficient temperature for snow making ;)

And it has a special chemical added to the water that is bio degradable :)

Surely proper snow is required in addition to artificial? Or can you ski in nothing but artificial if it is cold enough to make?

No, boots......

I have an appointment to buy a new pair at Rivington Alpine on 3 Jan. When I called he said that it will be a good few hours, also i also liked that he said if they don't have the perfect boot in they won't try and get you in another just for the sake of it - they will order the right ones in.

On their website it says "you dont choose the boots, the boots choose you"

Yes, this route is expensive, but I think its worth it.
