A quick look at the coming week's weather: http://tagesanzeiger.ch/portal/wetter/php/index.php and we'll get some nice days - it was a cold winter. With the sun rising higher in the sky it should burn away the snow in the town inside two weeks if not a tad sooner.
Well I'm off to Meribel on Satuday and though I'm not hugely pleased that its gonna be so warm it will certainly be interesting having never skied (i hope this will still be possible at least!!) in such warm conditions. I still hold hope that winter might give us one more appearance though!!
I see its going to be 22 degress (max) on saturday afternoon in brides les bains (near meribel). thats an average summer temperature where i come from (england). insanity!

I went to Courchevel last week of last season - it was brilliant provided that you stayed high in the afternoon and slapped on plenty of sun cream - I spent two days skiing with my hood up because I had got a bit toasted.

Sandals and t-shirt soon.
Did you get *any* skiing done this season?
Just got back from St Anton, where it was snowing when we arrived, then spent the next 6 days in blazing sunshine, and was raining to over 3000m when we left.
South facing slopes were very unstable, but the North faces offered up some great powder.

Sadly not - been travelling far and wide on business but hope to go skiing in August - Greenland. I hope to have a new customer in Greenland! Will be walking over Easter though - got the poodle here again.
It's now so warm here that skiing is virtually impossible - massive avalanche warnings due to lots of heavy wet snow. Many people seriously injured themselves over the weekend.
FWIW it's now 19C in the shade here, snow melting fast - 1m in the last week alone. So in fact it *is* t-shirt and sandals. -- Simon Brown www.hb9drv.chwww.laax.ch .
