We have clear blue skies and temperatures below zero overnight. Perfect conditions for skiing on the piste. Pictures taken yesterday morning by Mark.

Many of you might think that spring skiing isn’t really great, we imagine: poor quality of snow and a lack of life in the village. However there are many benefits to taking a spring ski holiday.

After a heavy show fall Sunday night, Mark was out taking pictures yesterday. We had blue skys most of the day and the temperature was below zero, so it was a perfect day for everyone ! Bonnes vacances to all our little skiers and their parents!

These pictures were taken on a short ski around the Chavannes Bowl and show how great the skiing conditions are.

Pictures taken in last two weeks of March, with very little care by machines, the pistes have been in great condition. Lots of people have been enjoying the mountains: ski touring, snowboarding, sledging, cross-country skiing... and even a good pair of hiking boots!

Fresh snow fell overnight and more is forecast tonight. We took a walk to the top of the Chavannes Express this morning, there was as much as 20cm ( 8 inches) of snow. George was having a great time rolling in the new snow.
