While Britain is getting battered by storms, the same weather systems have brought fresh snow to Europe. In the past 24 hours there has been approximately 10 to 15 centimetres of fresh snow throughout the Portes du Soleil, with more forecast for the next week.
Conditions on piste have been very good recently and the February crowds have not had too adverse an effect on the snow. There is one week left of the European school holidays but the crowds have dropped off significantly in the past week. The pistes had been slightly icy in places but the fresh snowfall has made things significantly better. The conditions off-piste have also been improved by the recent snow, although it is probably better to wait for the further snowfall that is currently forecast.
The Mont Chery bubble stopped working briefly on Thursday but this was only a short-term problem and it is now running smoothly. Other than that, the entire Portes du Soleil is open at the moment. The only thing that could cause a problem would be if the wind picks up over the next few days but the forecast at the moment suggests that there will only be a light breeze for the duration of the coming week.
