Yesterday we tried the ski back route to Hastings and the other chalets in the same area (see location map on web site)  the snow was very good up to Chalet Soleil, after this we walked - for about 3 minutes to get to the Hastings Chalet. So - Chavannes, Senlac, Soleil and Hastings are all within 3 mins of a ski back route - as of yesterday.

It was snowing heavily this afternoon and some 33cm and cold conditions are forecast for the rest of this week - there has been a little thawing - which in practice results in building a solid base of heavy snow - and with over a foot of additional snow and cold conditions, it is looking like this will be a very good season.
