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.

MARCH SNOW! Snowing this morning above 1800m
A wet overcast grey morning in La Tania this morning but first lift
junkies were rewarded as the rain turned to snow at the top of the
gondola.
First tracks down the Lac Bleu and on up Biollay and Suisse for around
7cm of fresh dryer snow on the summit of Saulire.
Having picked up the piste bashers grooming schedue at the bottom of
the Biollay lift we knew Combe de Pylon had been pisted and with a
lovely covering of fresh snow on top it was simply delicous – poor
vis, but reliable, consistent cover meant you could let it rip.
Coqs chair not running so back via Plantrey, very wet at the bottom
but snow again at the top. Some sticky sections on the way back down
and the bottom of Lanches hadn't been pisted so was wet and cruddy.
Folyeres was as usual in brilliant condition, groomed perfectly and
although wet was a great smooth ski back down to La Tania for a Ski
Lodge Saturday All Day Breakfast (from 10:30 to 12:00!).
I may be wet, but I'm happy – It certainly beats a Saturday morning in
the UK.
Snowing Now in Tignes
Snowing in Le Lavachet, Tignes right now. Forecast is for snow down to 1600m – could be wet in La Tania, but powder just above the resort.
Go Hard Tomorrow….
