Snows on the way!

Just in case people haven't been checking, there are some fairly big snows
on the way for the alps for next weekend! Looks like there could be some
reasonable snow for the 1/2 term weekend after all!

Excellent. Bourg St Maurice better get its town-hall equipped with
spare linen a tout de suite then.

We had a number of people on mattresses at our place last year...
Fantastic skiing the next morning :-)

This is the best weather forecast we have come across and it does look
like half-term is going to better than could have been! Time to grab a
last deal.

Ooh... and it's just started bang on schedule. Got an inch on the
roads already and visibility is somewhat lacking....

Quick, where are my powder skis?

Bit optimistic Matt? There's only around 10 cms forecast for this 24
hour period! Still, hopefully some more Wednesday and over the
weekend...

On the other hand, I hear Bourg St Maurice employees have been warned to
be ready to work overtime, and to keep their mobiles switched on, with
'very changeable weather' forecast over the next fortnight... (ie be
prepared to start hauling mattresses after office hours, just in case)

Bring it on... 8-D

Hey, just try not to track the whole hill out before I get there end of next
week!

Eternal optimist, me.

Yeah - whispered rumours of the "Mother of all storms" and wise old
crones "getting a feeling."

As you say - Bring it on!

Here in France the forecasts have been pretty encouraging for a rapid
sorting out of the season, with snowfalls above 1000m at least until the end
of the week. I was in Sainte-Foy Tarentaise a couple of weeks back when
things were far from perfect, and still enjoyed some great skiing - anyone
heading there from now on is in for a treat. It'll be interesting to see how
other areas fare...

Talking to the locals last night (ski school owners, lift company
people) the general rather pessimistic view was that the forecast snow
(in the Tarentaise) is very unlikely to be substantial - at least, over
the next week.
