Just a light dusting of snow overnight, less than was forecast I think. From the look of the precipitation radar it seems that most of the snow was a bit further East of the French Alps.

I know you've got a nice pad, but having your own radar installed is taking snow-gazing to excess

Left yesterday, just before this latest snow. Nothing was open in Les Arcs .so not sure about snow conditions, but from the walk I took up the Chantel nursery slope it looks all set to go. Piste-bashers were out in force and the snow cannons had been working hard with huge piles of snow waiting to be moved around.

Loads of snow and more on it's way.
The mountains were a picture as I drove up the valley this afternoon. Had to clear a little snow to open the garden doors and I am not even up the mountain. Very nice.
It is quite cold right now and getting colder. I have just been told they expect more snow later in the week. Now if someone can explain again how to add photos, I will give it a go. Please explain in very simple terms. Thanks

ahhh, I am moving to BSM in 3.5 weeks for the enitre season. This all gets me stoked! There is NO SNOW in California at the moment, while the alps are experiencing 200% above average snowpacks. Ready to head over needless to say...

Quote from my french friend who lives in Paradiski area:
"Hi chérie, it's snowing a lot !!! I never saw so much snow in the valley !!!! Off pistes will be very very dangerous next week, we have to be careful and stay on slopes
Straight from the horses mouth! Bring it on.............

In the trees was fun today but rather sticky snow. Anyone coming out for this weekend, they have the chains sign switched on today for roads up the mountain. If this weather continues they could be on for a few days. They were even stopping cars in the morning to check so bring your winter driving kit with you or you might end up stuck in Bourg.
Today the snow is falling everywhere, not good for photo's to cloudy, but I will try when the sun comes out. In the mean time those that want pics, have a look at the web cams for Les Arcs. If it keeps this up for the next couple of days you should be able to ski back to bourg through the forest. Amazing for this time of year. Must have been at least 10cm of fresh snow in 1600 today maybe even more and there is already a good base in some places.
Bad news for parking. They have put barriers on the funic parking area in bourg, 1 euro a day I am told. Hope that is correct. Up in resorts they have taken away all free parking as well. They say they will tow anyone that parks in the wrong places so be warned. When I asked why they had introduced parking fees everywhere. I was told it was the Town hall, not the lift company that did this. Most local people are very unhappy, so could be interesting next week.

Will be there on Saturday blowing a few cobwebs away. Can normally be found smoking outside bars (particularly La Ferme in VR)
Buying me a swift demi will do seriously good things to your credibility, although you may have to barge your way through the hordes of adoring skibunnies who seem to flock around me like flies around a bucket of poo

Guvnor, Hi, think you are living the dream as well, back to reality. Have you arrived in Villaroger yet? Are your lifts opening on saturday? What is the snow like over your side, is there a good level of covering all the way down to La Ferme. Have a look out your window and let us all know. Hope to ski the whole area on Saturday or at least what they open.

snowcrazy, Arrive Saturday morning, but my people on location tell me that there is good cover all the way down to Villaroger, and I believe the lifts open on Saturday. Depending how long it takes us to get there, we should be grabbing a couple of hours in the afternoon on the Villaroger side.....La Ferme also opens up on Saturday, so the pipes will be clean and the beer fresh
