Some of the Alpine Propetry team managed a morning out about the Valley de la Manche (Morzine)
Last Snow Update of 2009:
26/12/2009. No pictures I’m afraid. Just to say that the “early season” conditions have fluctuated hugely, from very good conditions to very bad conditions! The stable weather of the middle of the month broke down around the 20th of December, since then the temperature has been fluctuating from “Baltic” to “Tropical” and is still in that cycle. Everything (from the valley floor up, with artificial snow cover is white and varies from good to icy, From 1500m to 1800m the natural snow starts to appear and anything above 1800m is in good condition. These observations seem to match quite closely the full descritption from the “ Bulletin neige et avalanches”.

Snow update 15/12/09, we decided to dispel some of the rumours circulating about the snow conditions, we took the Alpine Property video camera to document what we saw. Below are details of two half day excursions in the Portes du Soleil. If it softens the blow, we will be working this coming weekend!

Snow Reports from earlier in the month.
3/12/09 It looks like Avoriaz/Morzine/Le Grande Terche! are all opening this weekend (for the weekend), I guess everyone else will be as well.
The snow has reached the lower reaches of the Alps over the last day or so. This is a picture of my garden in St Jean d’Aulps, at 800m altitude, 4/5cm here. No announcements yet about a possible early opening of the lifts but I suspect they will this weekend.
We have been busy adding new properties to our website. Over the last 3 weeks we’ve added another 20.
