Don’t say I didn’t warn you … winter is finally here.
It’s been snowing since Monday and the village is like a picture postcard. I’m sure there must be some web-cams around the resort somewhere. Take a look for yourselves …
There must be about 10cm in the village of Val d’Isère and probably much more on the slopes. Last year’s snow boots have been dug out of the loft and the dust cleared from the sledges and the fun had begun! Snowmen are springing up everywhere …
There has been a rush on the sale of snow tyres and those who hadn’t already fitted them have had to resort to the old snow chains !
Snowfalls are forecast to continue for another two days, with a few days of better weather forecast before further snowfalls next week.
All this bodes well for the approaching winter season. My brand new ski boots are in the hall itching to be on the slopes but all we can do for now is sit back and watch the flakes fall …. !!!
