France Snow Report overview 15th Jan 2010

The southern French Alps received huge snowfall over the weekend. This gave waist deep powder over the whole mountain and made for some phenomenal skiing. 

Over a metre of fresh snow fell on Puy St Vincent (180/230cm). Their base depth has increased hugely as a result of this fresh snow and there is brilliant coverage off piste even low down now. 11 of the resort’s 12 lifts were running on Monday which is great considering how much snow fell recently. Piste conditions couldn’t really be any better at the moment.

Further north it also snowed, but not as much as down south. Between 10cm and 20cm fell at Morzine (40/170cm) on Saturday and there is now plenty of snow even down at valley level. The best snow is higher up where there is most of it. Nearly all the lifts in the Morzine area are open, as is the lift link up to Avoriaz (125/170cm).

Monday was a lovely sunny morning in Val d’Isere (98/148cm). Cold and sunny weather now dominates after the recent snowfall. The Ski Club reps in resort report amazing snow conditions. All the fresh powder that fell last week gives awesome off-piste skiing and on-piste conditions are excellent everywhere.
