Talking Reliable Weather Report

Ive been trying to look up the weather for Val Thorens but i seem to be getting conflicting reports. One website says there has been snow on such a day, the other said no snow for the past week :P Then the future forcast is even more muddled, the one ive been told is good is http://www.onthesnow.com/FR-FR/602/weather.html but again it seems to chage its mind every 5 mins :P So does anyone have a few good ones that can tell me the upcoming weather forcast that has been reliablish in the past? thanks for your help!

Search google for many views on it's reliability or not. IMHO it's
reliable if you accept the fact mountain weather is very hard to predict
exactly, and believe the 3 day forecast more than the 6 day!

I have found the ValThorens web site fairly accurate. Having just been out
there it was about spot on and the morning i arrived home it said there was
30cm fresh snow and as we left our chalet @5am there was a good 25/30 there.

If your going out there soon - don't worry, they now have enough snow and
you should have a good time
