The snow has arrived! The day after I noticed that the pistes on Mont Chery had been mowed, the snow came! They mow the slopes so that the grass is short and spiky and therefore makes a rougher surface for the snow to lie on - which makes it last longer - very clever.
Anyway, on Saturday we drove over to Samoens via the Route d'Ete over the Col du Joux Plane. The snow line was at about 1200m in Morzine and i'd estimate around 5cm has fallen and was still falling while we were driving over.
On Sunday I (stupidly) tried to go for the first ski of the season butthe snow just wasn't thick enough - about 10cm had fallen in Avoriaz. The snow line in the Avoriaz area was at about 1500m. Today the outside temperature is 4C at 1000m and it's supposed to get down to 2C later in the week.
