More snow than can shake your proverbials at.

A snowflake is one of God's most fragile creations, but look what they can do when they stick together!

We have been full on the last couple of weeks with training and getting the final preparations done before first guests next weekend.

In meantime Avoriaz has been opening it's lifts and the tales coming back from the hill have been almost unbelieveble. As we haven't been up, have not had chance to assertain for my self but here is a shot from out front of the chalet, just to give you an idea of how much snow there is right now.

I've been coming here for 10 years and never seen town so white, can't wait to get up the hill.

Avoriaz knackering but worth it for the snow.

After being defeated yesterday on our ascent to Avoriaz we tried again today with much more success, and a better suited vehicle. Once in town we hiked the Arare, it took an hour and half, at some points literally upto my jewels in freshies.

Despite being absolutely knackered, still found the energy to woop the whole way down. Having been so invigorate by the quality of the run down we quickly decided to built a little kicker and get our first air time of the season, to add to the first powder turns.

Oh what a day, the season has started, FACT
