Ummmm .... Good video but still feeling glum as we're due to be skiing at the end of next week and the weather isn't looking good for it; the snow dump last month is melting quickly :(

@haganap

Yeah but not sure where yet.
Just keep an eye on the snow and head off when it's right.
No planning rather wait for good snow.
Is the Rapido winterised?

We're in the Alps now, near Combloux. Many resorts are closed and those that are open are closing runs daily.

I thought last year was dire. Looking at the reports and forecasts, I'll be mothballing the skis and getting back into mountain biking!

Well beat you to it - ACL injury on the slopes in Jan means I have to stick to mountain bike - Maybe I won't miss much this season if conditions are poor - Though there is lots of time yet -Sure there will be some in the New Year - Always a risk booking to go this early

We're booked into a campsite in La Clusaz on jan 10th. But a holiday's a holiday - right? We'll bring the bikes if it looks bad.

Had plenty to play with last week in Tignes:)

Bit of a wait now until Les Arcs in March, will just have to hope we get enough to get out in Weardale in the interim.

Not sure if anyone has seen the resort webcams, but the snow looks mad at the moment.

Knowing our luck, by the time half term comes along, there would have been no more snow and the whole lot will be packed down and icy!:crying:
