The 2015 skiing thread
Discussion
We arrived in Chamonix last night, fearing the worst. Despite all the news about the lack of snow the season opened today and I spent the morning getting some nice big powder turns in off the top. Soft and lovely until the mid-station.
Don't be put off by the melodramatic media. There is great skiing to be had.

I'm still riding untracked snow off the top. The home run isn't really skiable all the way yet but we're forecast half a metre of snow this weekend and temps low enough to run snow cannons so I think you can relax a bit. I think we could still do with an extra half a metre to cover the rocks off-piste but if you're on the pistes or on rental/rock skis then you'll be fine.
Not this year, sadly. I'm here until the 5th and I'll be popping back from time to time. I'm renting the apartment out the rest of the time.
We woke up to 5cm of unexpected fresh in the valley. Probably not much more up top but the temperatures have dropped sharply and we have a big storm forecast tonight and tomorrow.
