Snow Conditions in Vald'Isere

Thank to you who replied to my post about driving time to Val D'Isere.
We're (the rest of the family) flying there on Sunday and have been looking
at the snow conditions with concern. My son's sent a text about the snow -
so here's a first hand report as of this afternoon "Snow is really good
above mid-station, lower still good but a few stones. Bring your new skis.
They wont get too damaged" So much for all the doom & gloom about the
snow, so it seems that at least Espace Killy is OK.
