*** La Tania locals – Snow Report Update ***

Powder Day
————————
After a rather difficult day on Wednesday with high winds, poor visibility and lift closures, the sun has finally returned. Fresh tracks down to Lac Tueda, with an interesting ski out, then over to 1650 and down the couloir to the left of the avalanche face. Pistes are in great condition. More snow forecast this weekend.

It's Snowing…
————————
About 15cm of snow on my balcony this morning. Must be great if you ski rather than drive…

As predicted the temperature has dropped and it is snowing gently. Forecasts expect about 5cm today, with temperatures dropping to -8 tomorrow and staying cold for the rest of the week with more snow showers. Long term forecast is predicting nearly half a metre around next Monday!

Very heavy going low down
————————
Very warm once again on Sunday and runs deteriated low down especially the final few hundred metres or so in to Meribel and Mottaret – still plenty of cover but the heavy slushy moguls were hard work, of course you can always take the lift down… Things set to change with much colder weather by Tuesday hopefully with some snow too, but cannons will be operating and pistes will firm up anyway and improve conditions.
