Swiss Snow

Well it's finally stopped snowing in La Clusaz this morning after a solid 48 hours of snowfall. The snow report is for 110cm at the top of the mountain, but I can't remember seeing more snow than this here in the past 5 years. Some of the Swiss resorts are reporting 270cm at the top and the Italian resorts even more - safe to say it is an awesome start to the season all over the Alps! :D

Got to go and dig the car out now! :roll: :wink:

Just had a look on the Zermatt web cams and it looks fantastic....there on Sunday...I hope it stops like that....can't wait

I will try and post pics as the hotel has wifi

Pack it in, I'm green with envy :mrgreen:

Just back from a morning earning my turns. 520 metres vertical in 1 hour 55 mins.
i still don't have any crampons for my skis either! The lengths I go to to get some fresh pow :D

I saw a couple on snowshoes, and the basher drivers, and no-one else....

It's actually stopped snowing at the moment and the sky is blue :D

well done! 260m/hr is pretty good, around guidebook time

Thanks :D I was quite surprised and pleased at the progress I made. Not bad for an unfit fat old bird. The first climb up the main piste seems to be the toughest bit, though I did find one spot where ski crampons would have been quite useful to stop me sliding back down, and that was the very last bend on the route :lol:
