Current Lift Status - North Alps

I'm going to visit a friend in Lausanne next Tuesday 2nd until Monday 8th.
Are there likely to be any resorts open locally? We were hoping that Portes
du Soleil would be open but that's looking very unlikely at the moment
(official opening on the 13th), so will we have to travel to a glazier
resort?

We will be travelling by train from Lausanne if we go skiing, so I asume
that will be via geneva. Which is the easiest resort to get to that is
likely to have any snow.

Thank you

David

The glacier at Les Diablerets is open at the moment (www.diablerets.ch).
Take the train E from Lausanne and change at Aigle. You can also get to
Champery in the PdeS from here if there is a big dump this weekend.

Thank you Rod, I may well give that a go )

weeks at all the local and alps websites but never came across that one.

Unless I'm missing something the web site says it's not open at the
moment. Is it open for the weekend ?

Thanks, I read German. I swear it did not say that a few hours ago
though in German or French. I'd looked as I was leaving the office and
saw it was supposed to open in the morning.

People tell wind closing Les Diablerets is pretty common, is that
true? And more the point, is it worth going over the weekend?

Yeah, because you never know when the value of 2^15 will change and
you have to go through all your code fixing it.

Perhaps you was on the wrong site, www.diablerets.ch instead of
www.glacier3000.ch ?

I don't know the Diablerets.

Yes, that was probably it.

Ah well, I've about 90% talked myself into going to Val D'Isere for
the weekend anyway :-)
