Joey and Nicks Snow Report

What a day! Perfect pistes, not a cloud in the sky.

4th Valley trip, almost perfect conditions on the pistes and still lots of fresh tracks to be found.
Green run home still suffering from rain at Christmas however it’s got plenty of snow on it, just a few hard packed areas on the middle of the corners making it trickier for beginners. Still my preferred way home every afternoon.
The only La Tania run that isn’t open is the lower part of the red / Moretta Blanche but plenty of snow and lots of people are skiing it.
Folyeres really good as usual.
In conclusion 98/100 for skiing conditions over the last couple of days.
cheers

Another perfect day on the mountain, great snow and blue skies – more snow tomorrow?

Another great day of blue skies and perfect piste conditions. Only a
handful of runs closed in the Courchevel Valley, this includes the
lower red section down to La Tania and the black Jockeys run – just
not enough depth on these runs and not the demand for them so maybe
not worth the effort in maintaining them until more snow low down. The
blue Folyeres and green Plan Fontaine both open and fine down to
resort though. Grand Couloir, for those interested now officially open
too.
Off piste avalanche risks are posted at level 3/5 above 2200m and 2/5
below but both sun and aspect effecting this.

Cornish lads take advantage of 4-6pm Happy Hour by piling them up at 17.59pm

SNOW! As predicted on the La Tania Video Snow Report

Coming down hard as forecast. Powder Rules may well apply tomorrow.
This season is turning out very well so far, no massive storms, but
consistent fronts coming through and freshening things up consistently
every week – which is perfect really…

Clouding over, snow on the way, I can smell it

Clouding over, snow on the way, I can smell it
Looks like snow this evening and overnight ready to freshen things up once again. Pistes will be in great shape for this weekd skiers and boarders. Avalanche risk currently at 3/5 (Considerable) – trend is to move upwards with this new snow, take care but go hard…
