At last S3V have got their act together and opened the free beginners lift Troika in the centre of resort. Pressure from Chalet owners and the ESF finally paid off. Lots more lifts open today and Three Valleys links open once again after wind has reduced. The pisteurs report that they measured a 180km gust on Sunday - a tree came down over the Loze drag in 1850, many sign posts were damged and the huge banner / canvas type area signs were simple ripped apart - very scary... Off piste in high and exposed areas has been stripped of snow (it all ended up in Tignes we reckon) - unbelievable the difference a couple of days can make. More and more pistes getting groomed and prepared, still plenty of base so lots of piste skiing on offer. Folyeres and the run down to Meribel Billage were probably the best runs yesterday.
