Yesterday (15 jan) had to be one of the best bluebird days of the year. Was skiing for work but was able to get off piste for a couple of runs - light powder down to around 1800 meters.

Storm...

I ski at La Clusaz all the time. Fun place to ski. Les Aravis are also a great place to tour. PM if you have questions or are looking for someone to show you around - schedule permitting on the...

Snowline in the Haute Savoie down to at least 450 meters.

Snow level at 400m this morning in the Haute Savoie. Forecast for snow Sunday / Monday.

February school vacation in France starts Feb 9 (this coming Saturday) and the kids go back to school on Monday, March 10th. Parisiens will be on vacation from the 23rd to the 10th.

FYI.

Yeah, figured yesterday was fantastic. Oh well, skied untracked most of the morning on Sunday, so can't complain too much. Timing has been off this year for catching the truly great days.

Cheers.

Been weird lately, really cold storms followed by very warm weather. Could not believe how warm it was (relatively) on top of the Aiguille du Midi on Saturday and was at around 3100m this afternoon...

All good this weekend, especially on Sunday.

Depending on area and slope avy risk ranged from 2 to 4, so be careful.

Lucky enough to ski yesterday morning where people weren't...

Looks like...

Tomorrow (Friday) will be a lot of "foëhn" apparently until mid afternoon. Snowline Friday evening optimistically hovering around 2000m, then dropping to hopefully 800m during the night and through...

Yeah, this last weekend was great skiing, as was the weekend before.

Still freezing here in the northern French Alps, -7 (celsius) at 400m elevation with the snow line still pretty low. Sun...

Woke up this morning with snowlevel down around 1500m in the Haute Savoie.

Snow line in the backcountry in the Belledonne massif (France) is around 1650-1700 meters on north facing slopes. Still a pretty good amount of snow above 2000 meters. Les Grandes Rousses (Alpe...

Skied Paradiski yesterday (Wednesday). 20-30cm above 2500m depending on aspect.

Coverage on north facing slopes good down to 1800meters, 2000meters for other aspects.

Stay at altitude and this...

Correction, it's now snowing at 500m.

This morning the snow line was around 1300m in the Haute Savoie. Been varying all day.

WOW!

I skied the pentes de l'hôtel all day on Sunday at le Brevent. With slight cloud cover and still cold temps, the snow was still pretty light in the morning. The snow got heavier and heavier...

Was at La Plagne yesterday (Friday). Fantastic snow conditions above 1800meters, light dry snow, especially up high. Given the off and on cloud cover, no one there and so I got fresh tracks most of...

Snowing at 450m elevation right now in the Haute Savoie. Snowed last night at that level as well. Good skiing now and should be great skiing Friday and Saturday when the storm clears.

Paradiski (les Arcs/La Plagne) was fantastic yesterday. Good untracked silky corn off piste and still winter snow anything north facing above 1800m. Below 1800m, bring your rock skis.

Hopefully...

Got to Grands Montets parking lot Saturday morning at 8am, and was told by security that the area was closed so we headed over to Les Contamines. A good day all things considered. Rained below 2000m...

Les Grands Montets was great on Saturday as well.

Here's a good weather site for those interested (don't think I already posted it):

BTW, it's in French.

Last weekend everything north facing off piste above 2000m...

Skied at Paradiski (Les Arcs, Peisey-Vallandry, La Plagne) yesterday (Sunday), snow conditions were pretty good above 2000m, below it was thin and gloppy.

Due to the fact that it was zero-vis...

Weather is unfortunately seasonably warm. Plans early in the week to go skiing yesterday (saturday) instead I went climbing...in a t-shirt...and was still too warm. Hopefully the storm at the end of...
