As British newspapers publish stories about too little snow in the Alps, it appears it's not as clear cut bad news as they imply as Val d'Isere has been forced to cancel World Cup training runs this morning due to too much snow on the course!
120 people are trying to clear the snow off in readiness for tomorrow's race which is forecast sunny.
Last night 15 cms of fresh snow fell in Val d'Isere from top to bottom. Temperatures were -4°C in the resort this morning butT 0°C on top of Solaise.
"The resort feels wintery for the first time this season and the place is buzzing with the World Cup in town," said one Brit currently in the resort.
The resort is currently working hard to get top to bottom of Solaise sorted and the nursery slopes open which were pisted properly last night.
"We're delighted to announce that all the high altitude sectors are open and the lionks over to Tiognes in the Espace Killy," said a resort spokesperson, adding, "Everyone can enjoy themselves, from beginners on gentle runs to experts on extreme tracks. So get your skis on and join us for a great run on the slopes – Fornet, Pissaillas, Solaise or Bellevarde…. The choice is yours,"
