Tignes glacier, Saturday
More snow during the week. The glacier was closed on Thursday as a result,
and with poor weather on Friday there was virtually nil visibility. But yesterday was the best yet - no wind, sun, relatively uncrowded, great conditions on piste that lasted until late on (though some of the crevasses just beside the pistes looked pretty frightening... some fool managed to fall in one of course, don't know what happened to him/her)... Looking great right now, no wind, no clouds, hard frost down at Bourg Saint Maurice (800m). Snowed down to 600m in the Tarantaise last week, most has disappeared at lower altitude, but there's still a sprinkling of snow on the slopes well below Arcs 1600. Pete |

I meant to go last Sunday but I was too tired to drive over, it's a couple of hours. I really will try and make the effort next Sunday or Saturday. How busy has it been over the weekend ? Ian -- Yeah, because you never know when the value of 2^15 will change and you have to go through all your code fixing it. -- Paul Tomblin |

How busy has it been over the weekend ? Surprisingly quiet yesterday, just going there for the afternoon now, will update later. Should have gone first thing when it was sunny, sky and snow the same colour this pm - pretty hairy skiing at speed (for me anyway). Still it wasn't too busy, and the pistes were in perfect nick. Everyone is at LdA. Don't really miss the 'Mondial', a lot of hype, too many people skiing/boarding on the glacier, competing for limited space with the race teams, and the resort is pretty dead - many shops etc can't be bothered to open up for just one week.
