Update from S3V Ski Area Management Company<\/strong>
Despite difficult conditions (natural snow has been in short supply and temperatures have not been conducive to artificial snow production), we have deployed significant resources to offer from Saturday, 8th December the best skiing we can. This will be illustrated in particular by the production of artificial snow at full capacity<\/em><\/strong> as soon as conditions permit, with grooming machines working and teams manually carrying snow on to the slopes if necessary.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Encouraging prospects!<\/strong>
The situation should improve rapidly thanks to favorable weather conditions to ski on new pistes every day. Meteo France have announced sharply lower temperatures and regular and consistent precipitation on Saturday & Sunday. In addition next Monday and Tuesday, there is persistent cold weather conducive to snowmaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Openings scheduled for December 8<\/strong>
Forecast to open in the Courchevel valley on Saturday:
* Saulire Cable Car
* Verdons Gondola
* Jardin Alpin Gondola
* Tovets Chairlift
* Tapis du Golf Magic Carpets
Lift and piste openings will increase very quickly as conditions improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
