Portes du Soleil - Chatel and Avoriaz - weekend 15th & 16th December 2007

Last weekend and into the beginning of the week, snow fell heavily over the area, giving fantastic cover for the time of year. Resorts are quoting well over a metre of snow on upper slopes.

Skiing and boarding conditions are superb at the moment. Temperatures were about -10°C in the car park as lifts opened, and only warmed up a little during the day. On-piste is excellent packed powder whilst off-piste is powdery bliss. If this was still last season, everyone would be describing this as the best weekend of the season! Lift queues are non-existent and it was sunny all weekend - though we were looking down onto cloud in the valleys below.
