Snow showers throughout the day but not what was forecast
Bright this morning and a covering of fresh snow, cloudier and snow
showers in the afternoon, weather coming from the South now it would
seem….
Grey and cold, lifts just about shut. Time for Friday Apres Ski at The
Ski Lodge with those Bring Your Sisters boys….
Snowy

Made it for first lifts this morning and joined Nick Ski for a quick ski over to 1650 to do the couloir to the left of the Equinox Face. Visibility was good, and powder light and deep.
Pistes had a light covering of fresh snow, very quiet, no queues
Back to work at 1115, not a bad way to start the day!!

Jack Bauer to appear at the Meribel Little World Festival with ex-La Tania band The Feeling?
From The Daily Star Today…
The Feeling have bagged 24 actor Kiefer Sutherland, 43, for their Little
World Festival in Meribel in March.
Chirpy pop’s finest smiley songmakers practised early hits like Sewn in the
French Alps before signing their record deal. Now they’re giving something
back.
A source told me: “Kiefer manages bands who’ve toured with The Feeling so
he’s a big fan and wants to go see them in Meribel. He’s a keen guitarist
and may well pop up on stage too.”
The Feeling playing a free show on the piste in Méribel plus over 40 other
gigs with artists including Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Glen Tilbrook (Squeeze) &
Graham Gouldman (10cc) – takes place from 13 – 19 March 2010 tickets on sale

Powder Day! Powder Rules apply once again today – Go Hard, Stay Safe
Loads of new snow this morning, so no friends, no waiting and no work
(I wish)…
Fresh Tracks Creux Noire
Nick, Joey and Sallyann were first into the Creux Noire bowl as the sun broke through the clouds on Saturday morning. About a foot of fresh powder and lots more due.
It’s Saturday, the slopes are empty and Powder Rules apply today!
A busy day for some today and some difficult transfer work first thing
but Official Powder Rules apply today – go hard but Stay Safe.
Considerabe avalanche risk remains off piste at altitude and there was a fatality in an avalanche incident off piste above Orelle in the Val Thorens area on New Years Eve. Know your limits & experience, be properly equipped, seek pisteurs advice, minimise risks, stay alert & aware and respect the mountain environment.
