snow dance!!

After the excitement of the early snow it has been very warm and dry the last few weeks so I think a snow dance is called for!

We will be in La plagne tomorrow and lead the French snow dance!!

This is our only chance we will ever get to work a ski season it needs to bw a snowy one

Really hope you and the new MrsMattSki_Score have the most wonderful time.
I predict that you will look in wonder at the grass and flowers as spring arrives down in the valley - especially if you don't get down to Aime or Moutiers very often.
Don't forget us poor souls restricted to a week or two.

It wasn't very warm but it's getting much warmer now and it's expected to stay like that for another two weeks unfortunately. Hopefully it doesn't mean a dry season - we had starts like that before and than it wouldn't stop snowing from January to May.

MMmm I always like a good start to the snow season it allows for a good base to bed in and just makes me feel a touch happier,there is some snow forecast for 19/21 December then again on the 27th how reliable that will be we will have to see :shock:

We'll give it a week, if nothing arrives we'll get a dance organised. Just remember the rules, we don't want a repeat of 2010.

I am trying not to panic. It hasn't been too bad so far but top up is needed. The opening day lot of terrain was open, not only 2 runs like last 2 years, Tortin was in a very ski-able condition. But also last year by this time I had already had 2 powder days.... This year on Sunday I opted to go skinning as skiing got totally unexciting. Probably will do the same this weekend. Skin to a restaurant with nice terrace, chill on a terrace for couple of hours and ski down to the village or even download from mid station - lower slopes have grass sticking out in many places and rocks and stones everywhere. Top slopes have base 90 cm - with sunny weather and without top up it won't last very long especially with crowds doubling up in these sort of conditions, people who usually ski elsewhere will be going to Verbier as lower resorts won't have enough snow to open.

Here we go the normal J2ski snow panic seen every year ….. Snow is on the way to France on about 21/12/13 and it seems it will be snowing for three or four days ….. So cheer up and check the 10 day forecast sites :shock:

I only trust 3-day forecast range. I've been here long enough to know:) We have a typical winter inversion - foggy and cold at the bottom, sunny and mild at the top. It's only mid-December though...

I agree with the UK 10 forecasts are unreliable ….. but we have to have something to look forward call me a romantic but it is gonna snow in France on the 21st -)
