Apartments and Chalets to buy in Morzine, Les Gets, Chatel, Samoens, Chamonix, Megeve, La Clusaz, Annecy

After 4 days of precipitation the skies finally cleared leaving us with a classic bluebird day in the Alps. The snowline finished up at about 1200m, at 1500m we had about 70 cm of snow and 1.4m at 2000m. This will allow all the resorts to open this weekend. Many are running earlybird offers – for instance in Les Gets you can ski for the day for 10 euros.

Being an office dweller I had been tracking the forecasts which had earmarked Thursday as a good day to bunk off work for a while. The weather forecasts weren’t wrong. Lee Massey (Alpine Property – Morzine), Guy and Phil (both have worked for Alpine Property on IT projects), Chris (an Alpine Property seller from Samoens), Sian (Photographer who has provided many images for Alpine Property, Sian’s images are here), Willie from Doorstep Skis, Gaz and Carl all climbed up Mt Chery. This takes about 45min and was helped by the fact much of the route had been pisted.

It’s a bit cloudy today but the forecast for the weekend is good.

Here is a video of the conditions. Some viewers may want to turn down the sound.
