Steep slope, not a lot of snowfall. Been there several times in mid Dec when the Face hasn't been open due to poor snow coverage. They have done extensive work to add extra snow cannons and help retain snow. So they are more able to guarantee their World Cup event happens. In previous years they will have canceled, as they have on several occasions.
Higher slopes will be in much better condition.

Tony France has hardly as snow during December and it shows …. new snowfall the end of the week though :thumbup:

Will be there on Sunday, and after looking at the forecast today, not at all concerned. Can't wait!

We were there this weekend and watched the GS, the sloapes were in very good condition everywhere else but the OK and Orange were closed ready for this weekends womans downhill.

As Noddy says, just back and I skied Le face 3 times last week - day of the slalom the top part was superb snow, skied again the next day, snow fine, and bottom part of the run was still in 'race condition' and was patchy - ice / ok snow. the final time it had been bashed and was fine all the way down.

Snow in the whole area was decent last week but little base and very little cover off piste. If the Christmas storm delivers it will be lethal off piste fr a while.
