That week between Xmas and New year

Its supposed to be one of the busiest weeks in the mountains. People celebrate Xmas at home then head for the hills, and it was a little busy on the roads yesterday. I was skiing in Ste Foy and it was deserted, the skiing was good too. So when I went up this morning to meet clients at 9:45 I was expecting to queue at the lift it generally to be busy. well it was slightly busier than yesterday but by no stretch of the imagination was it BUSY! So where is every body? Has the recession kicked in or are the conditions putting people off. Great snow today on and off piste though I am restricting off piste action to well skied areas so I can see the rocks, hey I have new skis!
I am in Val d'Isere for the rest of the week so I am sure it will be busier there. Snowing lightly here tonight, rumours abound of a big fall this week. Still not counting my centimeteres till they hit the ground!
