Can't see any reason why Meribel shouldn't open as planned, decent dump of snow last week and more forecast his week. If the resort is open no reason not to open the links.

The sun is coming out!

The sun should be out today, hope the boss isn't expecting much work from me today...

Im here, just been really busy over the last few days.

Been pottering about in my lounge readying for a new TV. I treated my self to a new home cinema system and now a new TV is on the cards.


I also took my skis in for a good waxing prior to my new year trip.

Rubbish!

Admit it, you've been glued to a webcam, drooling as it all turns white, waiting for the clouds to disappear.

First of all, she will find the dry slope is a far slower surface than snow, so that might help. Edges bite much better on snow so control at higher speed is almost automatic going from dry slope to real snow.
A private lesson is the way to go, one to one, explain what she wants to achieve and go from there.
Make sure the skis match her ability, ie forgiving, easy to control, confidence building etc.

The map is still 'coming soon'!
The season starts the day after tomorrow!
Do you think they've forgotten it?

Alpe D'Huez would be great. Loads of great easy runs close to base and a proper challenge higher up.

Master lass Ski School have a good reputation:
