It's been a great start to the New Year in the Portes du Soleil with 20cm of fresh snow falling last night. The conditions both on and off piste are excellent and although it's pretty busy up on the hill there are a few quiet spots if you head away from crowds.

There's plenty to look forward to here in Morzine and Avoriaz with clear skies forecast and the end of the busy holiday period next week should be a real treat. We're also looking forward to the first Shreddie Feature Jam of the new year and there's ice hockey this Saturday.
