Winter Returning?

After the Spring like temperatures of last weekend it looks like
Winter will return from this evening (Wednesday 4 March 2009) with new
snow down to below resort level and a significant amount of snow
forecast for Thursday and possibly in to Friday – an unsettled outlook
for the weekend and in to next week too…

Turned out nice again despite poor forecast

*** La Tania Locals – Snow Report Update ***

Warmer… Bit snow later in the week?
After superb skiing on Thursday and first thing Friday the temperature has shot up and there's a sudden spring feel everywhere today. Looks like being fairly warm with spring like conditions for the next day or so but colder, more unsettled weather looks like it's heading over from mid-week. I bow to the Video Snow Report guru later though…

Gasex fall and lucky escape for La Tania local…

La Tania local Ian E was kept in hospital under observation for 48 hours and scanned for internal injuries but released after Doctors said he was unhurt. We hear that he dropped over the rocky/cliff section near the Lanches Chair, some 20m drop – his skis are still up there despite Kip trying to get them. Long Tom witnessed the whole thing, photos expected soon. Ian now back in the Hotel Montana, manager Simon has upgraded him to a bed from a bunk while he recovers…

Fantastic skiing on and off piste and only one lift queue today

Where were you? Nick, Joey, Jamie, Jenna and Andrea made the 3rd bubble out of La Tania this morning.
Here’s Nick on Lac du Lou and Jenna on Mont Vallon.

Pistes in perfect shape

Every run open in the Three Valleys except possibly the black Jean Blanc – haven’t been up there to check. Even Villages over in Meribel down to Les Allues is still fine. Great skiing continues and the number of kids around should drop significantly next week (and almost be eliminated the week after!). Another belter of a day today, deep blue skies and lunch on an outdoor terrace today I think…
