Nick Ski Snow Report 7 Dec 2013 – quality
The start of the season is always a bit of a trek, leave chalet 07.55 to catch the 08.15 bus from Le Praz to Courchevel 1850 for the first lift at 09:00. It makes us realise how lucky we are to ski to the door and a piste to ski out from just a short walk away from next week when La Tania opens.
A lovely sunny day and cold, cannons running all over the 3 Valleys getting a base for the season. All pistes above mid station with or without snow making seem to have a good base. Managed to find some nice untracked pitches which had plenty of snow on them. We vistited Mottaret, Les Menuires and Val Thorens getting home around 4pm.
To sum it all up we have what I would call a normal start to the season, not exceptional and not poor but as always fabulous fun.
Finally for the real low down on La Tania. Above mid station all pistes ready to go apart from the final steep part of Dou des Lanches. A little bit of a shock to see, or in this case not too see, no more Col de la Loze chair it has been removed. Plan Fontaine and Folyeres both with huge piles of snow ready to be pisted and cannons still blasting away so no reason why both should not open next week.
