Morzine has a calm, settled winter feel this week, with the village and surrounding area holding their snow well after the heavier falls earlier in January. The mountains above the valley look well filled in, and there is a steady mid winter rhythm to the resort now rather than anything rushed or changeable. Conditions on the slopes feel dependable and familiar, with good coverage across the area and a relaxed atmosphere both on and off the mountain.
