Les Gets lifts open!

Just for the weekend, but none-the-less three weeks before the advertised opening week for the resort! Shame I'm in London at the moment really...

Apparently Avoriaz are holding off to consolidate the snow cover before letting people loose on their slopes. Given the cold temperatures, they are probably getting the snow cannon work in to build up the base on the pistes too.

More snow - and the season is getting close!


Well, it's been a while since the last update, so I've got a few pics here. First of all, the chalet is just about ready, and it looks amazing. The heating is on apparently, which I think the guys still working there are appreciating - it's freezing outside at the moment! Here's how she's looking at the moment. We've just had more snow, and there is less building debris around the place now, so as soon as the sun comes out we should get a lot more pics up. Also we should be able to get some interior shots up too, that's looking almost respectable too now.

So the other news is the fantastic snow - good coverage right down into town, which is great news. It's nice and cold, so this should be a great base to build on for some excellent conditions ealy on in (and hopefully the lenght of!) the season! This is how Avoriaz is looking today:
