The Piste Bashers finally got to attack the huge mounds of cannoned snow on the Folyères piste down to La Tania last night.
The Tourist Office and S3V expect to have the run open to ski down to resort for opening day this Saturday, 10 December.
With one of the largest and most advanced Snow making infrastructures in the world that’s why the 3 Valleys Guarantee their skiing with more runs open than anyone else…
With the large high pressure system still dominating Central Europe more clear skies all week are forecast with temperatures around average for the time of year so snow cannons can operate at least at night to all levels.
May become a little milder by next weekend (hence the work starting now) and a chance of a disruption to the pattern next week but too early to really tell at present. Above 2200m there is still decent cover so plenty of skiing will be on offer for the early birds in any case.
Other positive news this morning is the Euro has returned to above 1.20 making a Happy Hour pint £3.33 in Pub Le Ski Lodge from 16:00 to 18:00 every day. Can that be beaten in the 3 Valleys (or London)?
