WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[michaeljcr]

Well, you did want good snow! When you're cross country skiing back to the airport, as it's the only way out, remember rainy, windy old Britain with fondness…

Hope you've got plenty of books or your Kindle with you!

[Giles]

We now have a curfew here.  No one is allowed out after 10 PM…...

[mvb]

I hope you stocked some alcohol

[Giles]

I have found the wine stock….

[Alex]

quiet night in then…

@Giles:

I have found the wine stock….

Hope it hasn't turned. Not that it matters at this point.

[rocket]

at least forecast says that the snow might turn to rain during tomorrow  "It's snowing moderately in the morning, light rain during the afternoon"

[Seul]

Remember me to call the chalet and tell to stock up on wine if I ever visit…

[TinMan]

G, that is a shit load of snow….. oh well you found the wine stock.

[zhivago]

G. Please send some snow our way, we could really use some in The Rockies.
Thanks

Aftermath of the storm:

Most of roads closed due to avalanche risk, only one lift open at moment, truck loads of snow being ferried out of town…

[Megatron1505]

It does look amazing though G.

[rocket]

yeah as long as you are not there….

@Giles:

only one lift open at moment

So did you go? I mean, what else is there to do?

[Giles]

Wandered up, but the only lift open was on the nursery slope, so did not bother.  May venture out again later but it is -15 C at 2000 meteres and the wind is gusting at 70kph…..

[LandoCal126 0]

Oh yeah, doesn't sound worth all the effort of bundling up. Better to forumicate and drink that wine stash!

[Giles]

Digging out:

Give that a miss then…..

[Alex]

@Giles:

Wind is gusting at 70kph…..

That's a light breeze compared to england..

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Wow some serious snowfall around G. I'm sitting in snowfree and green Zurich at work. My parents called me up and luckily some of my many brothers and sisters helped them digging out from their home in snowy Swiss alps. Some areas have reached over 2 meter of snow already. And more snow is forecasted!!

I just hope they don't loose their telephone and power supply over the next days

[Giles]

No skiing yesterday.  Only the nursery slope lift was operating.

Love this, this is the outside seating area of one of the cafes; in the main street

Val d'Isere main drag
