and if that's the bottom of the EK then the rest will be awesome when we all get there (I'm claiming vicarious fun through the group as we'll overlap by around 4 hours)


You're most welcome to chip in with comments on this thread any time you like Andy :)

I've been having a look to see how many pistes and lifts are open today in Tignes. They seem to be having a problem with too much snow (!) and the high avalanche risk, and there aren't many open, although it does say on here that the link with Val d'Isere is supposed to open later today:

I had a look at that link just now, and the pistes I'm particularly interested in are the ones that go down to Les Brevieres, which are in the Aiguille Percee sector.

These are the black Sache run, the red Pavot, and the blue Myrtilles. Unfortunately they're all shut this morning, which is presumably due to the heavy snowfall in the last few days.

But there is plenty of time before this holiday, so I'm not worried ...

I captured this image this morning, off http://www.tignesnet.com/lifts/status.html

:twisted: :D

Plenty of snow across the area, and right down to Les Brevieres as well!

The webcam shows what I am pretty sure is the chalet up the high street, and it has well over a foot of snow on the roof this morning.

I am pretty sure the chalet is the taller darker coloured building to the right of the road just before it bends to the right in this picture.

I wouldn't worry about that Andy - I think FQ has been slightly devious :wink:

The sun is shining this morning in Les Brevieres, so I captured another photo from the webcam, facing the dam this time :D

Les Brevieres is now open for ski-ing/boarding :)

The blue piste Myrtilles into the village is open, although the red Pavot and the black Sache aren't.

The Sache gondola and the Brevieres chairlift out of the village are also going, and so is the Boisses gondola out of Les Boisses (where the Brevieres chairlift takes you to).

So, Les Brevieres is now fully connected to the rest of the Espace Killy :D

And we've only got 4 weeks to wait before we'll be there :lol:
