Yesterday was incredible conditions every where above 1600m. At Flaine I was measuring 50-60 cm of new snow. It snowed heavy all of tuesday night to leave fantastic ski conditions yesterday. I was like a kid in a sweet shop, just did not know which run to do next and Jack from Zig Zag ski hire had given me a pair of next seasons Scott Reverse to try and try them I most certainly did, great ski’s. Once again the Grand Massif is living up to its reputation as one of the best, snow sure resorts.

Continuous snow on Saturday as low as 1000m made for some great skiing today. New snow could be found everywhere but the best conditions were above about 1800m. Aigle noir at Samoens was excellent with 10-15cm of new snow.

The first week of the season has been the best conditions I have encountered in the 10 years we have been skiing in the Grand Massif. We have spent the last week skiing powder every day. With snow depths between 30cm and 2.4 metres, there is a really good base, it bodes well for the rest of the season.

BB is a 12 week old jack russell bitch. We have known her mother for a few years now (birdie from les molliets restaurant) and she is a lovely natured little dog so when we heard she was having puppies we reserved one. She arrived on Friday and is already well settled in, even ”big boy” cat seems to like her, or at least tolerates her.
