| @klanfa, you might be lucky, though i think you might have to get the €649 one in the flash sale on 6(?) April. |
I dropped them an email last night and was told they had IT issues so not all emails were delivered. They plan to send out a new batch next week and I am supposed to receive it as well. |
Châtel are offering U26 passes at the pre-season discounted rate until 30 September:

Thanks though as I said, I'm sadly no longer eligible so looking to jump on private/pre-sale offer.

@klanfa, have you had a code now? I’ve just had another email with three codes on - I bought an adult one (me) and two for my kids last year (20 and 22) - I wonder if the other two are in case they’ve turned 26 (they haven’t, so will stick with boarder passes).

@Harry Flashman, Pistes were great at the weekend. On Saturday we did a mini-circuit from Gabelou lift via Linga, Plaine Dranse, Lindarets, Prolays, Crosets, Mossette, Champoussin and back to Morgins. Couple of the south-facing slopes on the Swiss side were suffering just a little, big but very soft moguls on one bit (that were bashed down by the next morning) and a few slightly brownish areas, but still plenty of snow, no rocks showing through, sort of thing. A little bit more snow Sunday afternoon/night should have been enough to keep them good still. ISTR someone posted in this thread that Super Châtel had been pretty good as well.

The forecast temps this weekend seem to have dropped a bit now too - snowline was forecast to be 1900m+, latest runs have it a bit lower down. Fingers crossed - out Friday for a long weekend.

Has any of the 22/23 Adult season pass holders received their discount codes for the pre sale from SERMA yet? I’ve not seen mine yet.
I’ve had the notification email of codes to follow but no codes yet?
Concerned they might have been in spam folder and I’ve deleted them?

Anyway - back to weather: this weekend is looking increasingly like there’s going to be some fairly significant precipitation, possibly snow to quite low levels. Any thoughts as to how low and how much from our resident meteorologists?
I’m out tomorrow for a long weekend then my daughters are out next weekend til after easter so a decent top up above 1400m or so would be most welcome!

@andy from embsay, I reckon, by the end of Monday, ~50cm above 2,000m, maybe 30cm at 1400m, a few cm at 1,000m.
Friday is quite warm - may only be a net gain at / around Avoriaz level by this stage. Sunday into Monday is the main event, again starting warm but temperatures dropping.
As you say, should be a good top-up for any piste that is already open above 1400m or so.
I'll be interested to see how much actually sticks lower down and / or on bare ground.

@denfinella, the wee top up a week or two ago made a big difference in the Super M sector and allowed them to keep the downward link (Tetras) open by the skin of their teeth and avoid downloading on Zore. Hopefully this will see them through until easter.

@bigtoe, not sure as I’ve not been around this week, but the week before they were just reopening Tetras for a couple of hours in the afternoon to let people ski back to Super M. There’s still (from the Zore webcam) a wee bit more snow around than there was the first week of March (Tetras was about 20’ wide and brown in parts) so had assumed they’d done the same process and preserved it through the day and just reopened about 1500.

How much?

Renewal is €570, flash sale is €649

Previously the flash-sale has been limited to 5000 passes. This year there's no limit, so if the sites don't crash on the day, all comers will get one

Plenty of fresh snow around this weekend, a bit breezy on the tops and a few closures of high lifts, but PLJ and Lindarets sectors had good amounts of untracked stuff to go at. Still snowing now down to 1200 ( maybe lower ).

@OuatteDePhoque, Mostly wet snow and rain, lots of rain yesterday. Saturday we tried SuperChatel. Was not a success. After less than an hour we gave up on it, considered taking Gabelou over to Linga but the thick cloud at that point made vis very poor and we decided to go shopping instead.
It did freeze overnight and there's perhaps as much as 10cm settled here in Morgins, so today might have been a better day to try to find some powder.

@Chaletbeauroc, Saturday and Sunday, Crete was above snow / rain limit.
Ardent parking was rain, but light snow on Lindarets runs, also top of Rochassons / Chaux Fleurie was snowy, although visibilty was a bit poor on Saturday. Sunday nice fresh relatively untracked snow under Rochassons, also off the top of the ridge behind the Fantasticable hut going down and joining Chaux Fleurie red just before the road, also the ridge between Prolays and Blue Velvet. High wind and high traffic areas like Crete & Prolays were stripped of new stuff, but almost over any edge ( even crete towards Tannes, and between Tannes and Stash) there was untracked stuff to be had.

|

You know it makes sense.
|
In Les Gets today - anything above about 1400m has excellent new snow - even got some untracked fresh off the side of several pistes in the bowl (all skied out now!).
Yesterday we got some fresh down the xmas trees (satellite?) run down from the Chaux Fleurie ridge in the hour of clear weather in the afternoon.

Pretty good but with an added under 12 kid, a full price adult on pre-sales (912 via serma) is still better?

@patrick!, haven’t got one of them! I have two “young adults”, so about €400 each.

So for kid + adult the best seems to be:
- adult + kid>12 yo: Saget's private sale at 570 (adult) plus Serma's normal presale at 448 (boarder pass)
- adult + kid<12 yo: Serma's presale at 912 (adult, comes with free kid)
Now, do they all come with 3 discovery passes and days in Verbier...

Avoriaz today pretty foggy at height with occasional light snow showers. Best runs are Ardent and Prodains given these are below fog/cloud level. Tetras and Zore still closed, but a few folk daring to chance "em anyway given they look good up high, but may still descend into a thin covering over crud/ditches.

Chatel do the PDS adult + U12 at the same price as buying an adult in flash sale + pre-season child. The bundle is available until September 30.

And powdery-ish. Hidden Valley was great  , all other off-piste a shark-fest  |
I saw a couple of skiers extreme-cruising down from ridges through the powder (not that it was particularly deep powder).
A pretty perfect day, all told.
Still a tiny bit peeved that my favourite runs (Grand Paradis and Zore/Tetras) were closed. At least The Wall was open and in good shape. Can't have too much perfection, I guess.
Bit of a coincidence today. I was on a chair with just one other guy, and chatted to him. And then, 30 mins later, by pure chance, I ended up on a chair with him again. Irish chap, US based, usually skis in Lake Tahoe, but over here for a birthday celebration, and took the opportunity for a quickie in Morzine.

Tetras has been ok this week for getting back to Super M - certainly better than a couple of weeks ago when it was actually open!
