One disadvantage of high resorts, they do get a bit white. Snow must be great though :-).

Our flight was the last to land at chambery. After that others were diverted to Lyon. Transfer was ok. 3 hours including stopping for 20 mins to put chains on the bus.

Skiing today was excellent. All the pistes were like skiing off piste.

Warming up though. Rain expected for some of tomorrow, also got windy earlier.

Vin chaud improves everything! :D

The sun came out yesterday. The previous days rain made it hard in the morning. Sun is out again today. Bit of a latest start due to hard day yesterday!

Looks a bit wind-blown, but good! Crusty off piste?

It was blowing a howler up there today. Off piste is very crusty. Looks stunning and then when you go over it it's got its own ice rink on the top layer

Think snow Is forecast tomorrow (according to the locals and some j2 thingy website). Hopefully visibility won't be as bad on out last day as it was the first.

Been a good eventful week so far with great snow :D
