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.

excellent early snow in the Grand Massif
Saturday, December 24th, 2011
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.

20″ of fresh powder in the Grand Massif
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
40-50 cm of new snow arrived on Saturday night and during the day Sunday, giving us some of the best skiing of the season so far. We had a great day skiing on Monday with untracked powder to be found everywhere. Cascades piste from Flaine down to Sixt (below 800 metres) is open, which means the snow is good right down to 800m. A snow mail alert also came in today with snow forecast for Les Carroz in the next six days.

First powder of 2010
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010
After two days of snow I figured it was about time to get out on the skis, have not been able to for the past two weeks due to a bad back. Conditions yesterday (5th jan) were near perfect, lots of new snow and very few people so lots of untracked powder off piste. Darren and myself skied in the airon and vernant valleys off piste and then a few piste runs in Les Carroz. The Grand Massif is an excellent ski area with something for everyone. From easy greens, wide cruising blues/reds and some very challenging blacks plus extensive off piste.
