Fantastic late season powder in the grand massif
Thursday, April 12th, 2012
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.

late season powder in the grand massif
Monday, April 9th, 2012
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.

Snow sure resort status confirmed at Les Carroz (Grand Massif)
Friday, February 12th, 2010
There really is a lot of snow
- Exciting stuff in the airon bowl
More snow than you can shake a stick at is what springs to mind. With snow depths of up to 3 metres in the Grand Massif there is certainly plenty of the white stuff. Yesterday we had great piste skiing in Les Carroz and Flaine and superb off piste at Gers, Flaine, Vernant and Airon bowl. Temperatures are very low at present so keeping the snow in really good condition with super soft powder off piste.

New ski lifts in the Grand Massif 2009/10
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Les Carroz-New for this season 2009/10 is a 6 man chair at Les Molliet with an uplift of 3000 persons/hour replacing the 4 man chair that had an uplift of 1800/hour. This should get rid of the peak time queues of the past. Also in Les Carroz the nursery slopes at the top of the telecabine have been widened so they are now both sides of the drag lift. My understanding is that returning skiers will be to the left of the drag lift and beginners to the right.
Samoens-A new 6 man chair is replacing one of the chariande lifts but going up to the tete du saix. This will make getting back to the tete du saix a lot faster than in the past.
I will make a report on these new lifts and slopes as soon as the lifts open in December.
