Decent snow still above Les Carroz and the Stade above Morillon was superb this morning, and completely empty.
A few runs are shut, but some of those seem to be shut to preserve snow for the busier weeks in February.


I did not see any snow cannons in Flaine ?

B- Must try harder!!!

Glad you enjoyed your hols! I'm going to have a quick look at my Flaine photos from a couple of years ago to see if I can spot a snow canon.

Having lost a week of my life editing a video of our Christmas & New Year trip to St. Gervais I couldn't find the energy to then write a report on it, so well done for making the effort. Be prepared for Little W outskiing you very soon! :roll:
The plan is.... there's no plan!

Sal - I'm off to Les Gets at half term and I'm mentally prepared for the fact that this is the holiday where my 10 year old overtakes me.... :roll:

218 canon is the official figure. Do you need to get your eyes tested Mr W? :shock:
If you stayed above mid station then you won't have spotted any, and might skied down next to the Balacha drags to get the liason back, which isn't covered.
