More snow, Upper depth hits 100 inches. Best for 70 Years?

The official snow depth at the top of Saulire is now recorded at 100 inches (that’s over 2.5 metres). Meteo France reporting snow accumulations as good as they have been for 70 years – see below.

Even the off piste level stats are showing well over 1 metre done at 1400m (La Tania resort level).

Interesting comment on the bottom of the local Meteo France Avalanche Bulletin – we’ve got “Canada Snow”!

Which roughly translates as:

Quality of snow
Winter 2012-2013 is quite exceptional with accumulations of snow as good as they have been for 70 years.

The ski conditions are fabulous with thick powder and high quality snow (like snow of Canada).

You can ski quite easily to Bozel or Macot (bottom of the valleys in Courchevel and La Plagne).

Oh. And the return of the sun today too!
