HARRYMAC2702, Welcome to 
Brian better than me at this but there is a lot of 'activity' which would indicate something big DURING that week. Not really a betting person but if I were I would go for snowfall on Monday/Tuesday and Friday --- whatever enjoy it ! Mind you I had no idea that temps would get this high 3 days ago .... so I know nothing !

Temps on their way back down. Dry until the 5th, then looking hopeful. Somewhere around the 7th-9th, fronts from the atlantic look like crossing the alps.
Hope so, I'm in Les Gets from the 11th

Les Gets needs it as does alot of the PDS it's all going!!!!!! Skiing on slush is no fun.

No, it's the suction. It sucks.

David Goldsmith, Indeed it does suck. Especially from ice to slush to ice to slush........ It actually feels like your skis are being pulled back, whilst you pretend not to shhot forwards.

But that doesn't stop it from being fun. A couple of the pistes I skied earlier in the week were slushy from directly facing the sun, but I had loads of fun on them as it is very easy to crank the skis over onto an edge and overcome any stickiness by going a bit quicker than usual

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

SammyQ, slushy bumps are the best things in the world beating powder and spring snow hands down. Sorry I missed you for beers but we're in Chamonix now. I thought the PDS conditions rather fine actually, but you probably don't have my history (seasons 88-89. 89-90 and 90-91). At one stage in Feb '90 we were down to 6 open pistes in the whole area.
Had a top day in the couloirs off Mossettes on Tuesday and rather an entertaining excursion to Torgon on Thursday. Wicked "itineraire" down from restaurant Panoramique.
ISE! Yes, I now totally see what you mean about Torgon. How little investment can you get away with and still call yourself a ski resort?
