It’s yet another blue sky, sunny day in the Tarantaise valley in the French Alps. It’s been like this for weeks now and frankly I’ve had enough! Let’s get some snow falling and make it quick, Who’s in charge and who do I get in touch with?
According to the forecast the only sign of precipitation on the horizon is next weekend but it’s a long way off and things can change but here’s hoping, it would certainly be useful to get some before it starts getting busy in February.
I was in Val d’Isere yesterday and had a great day going from Tignes Les Brevieres to the other end of the Espace Killy at Le Fornet. Skied a couple of the well known off piste routes, The Tour de Charvet and The Grand Vallon which were very good, provided you stayed on the bits where it had been well skied. Off to the side in the rough stuff it was ....well....rough, obviously, it was pretty tricky and not much fun. It was very cold in the wind so it was a relief to get into the Grand Vallon which was very sheltered. Really good snow there too.
I have a rare day off today and have got the laundry in the washing matching and have tidied the apartment and am feeling reasonably domestic, don’t worry it won’t last and am heading out for lunch soon so that will be there end of any indoor cleaning activities. Will afterwards get settled into a bar/cafe and get some internet stuff done.
Tonight I begin another off piste course and having skied all of the local areas in the last week I now have a good idea where to go to find decent snow. Definitely a trip to La Rosiere/La Thuile because the snow is pretty good and more importantly it good to go to Italy for lunch and the clients like the idea of going international.
If it snows I will let you know!

Hang in there Bryan, when it snows again, as it allows does, it will feel even better. In the meantime, keep working on the goggle tan line. I seem to remember it was good a few weeks ago in Courchevel. Mine is as pale as ever, that's the problem with being a southern softie !?!
