It has been snowing all day today in Les Gets - it looks like we are set for an excellent end of season.
Before todays 'dump' we were having beautiful crisp snow in the mornings. By late afternoon piles of powder. Very little ice. Pleasant skiing conditions with many excellent slopes right through until the end of the day.
We are now confident of good piste conditions to the end of the ski season.

1. Skiing across the whole of Portes du Soleil area
2. Mulled wine in the sunshine
3. Scooting down the slopes in a t-shirt
4. The views through the mist towards Mont Blanc
5. Snacking on chips in Morgins after skiing over the Swiss border

Whilst we are not far off the end of the season, the j2Ski web site is forecasting around 9cm snow in Les Gets on Sunday and Monday, also, the Skiiinfo web site is forecasting as much as 32cm snow in Les Gets and tempreatures as low as -5 degrees C. Whilst we feel that 32cm may be optimistic, there is certainly some snow expected.

The sky has been a clear blue all week, temperatures overnight have been cold, warm in the day time. The skiing has been good, best to be out early to get the best piste conditions. It is still worth making a last minute decision to come to Les Gets, this has been an outstanding season for snow and there are still a few weeks left of the season.

Gizzie and I went along the Nabor Road today and I found this enormous stick. It was -14 degrees out; the humans all put extra layers of clothes on, but we didn't mind it and even enjoyed rolling around in the white stuff.
