Cloudless skies and blazing sunshine...



Another stunning day up here in the mountains...

Temperatures have risen and we are back to the spring like weather of a week ago. I was very pleasantly surprised by the snow conditions when I went up the hill yesterday. I thought the rain would have washed all the nice snow away; but the pistes are in really good condition. There was not really any ice about because the warm sun had softened it all up.

However, if you are not a fan of slush then you should stay higher up. Towards the bottom of some of the lower pistes got slushy fairly early on. However, up around Saulire and over above 1650 would stay colder.

For those with three valley passes, it is well worth heading over to Val Thorens or Mont Vallon (Mottaret); both of these were above the snow-rain line and so still have lovely fresh powder.

Enjoy the sunshine!!
