Bloody well hope so. It's looking fairly desperate at the moment and we're over there 1st April.

we came back on sunday and i've never been less upset at leaving a resort. It was slushy at 2500m. There'd been no snow for over a week but the avalanche warning was 4 as all the base was going it was such wet snow. The pistes under the marmotte lift in courchevel were completely brown. Even with a lot of snow, the base was disintegrating VERY quickly. They desperately need a drop in temps and more snow.....

Yeah, I noticed the forecast and was quite gutted. I've been here for 4 weeks and it hasn't snowed. Then the day I leave the heavens are forecast to open and dump snow all over the place- gutted.

Still, lapping the park in a T-shirt was an enjoyable if somewhat novel experience so it's not all bad.

Pow is obviously what we're praying for but 'try anything' slush can be also be pretty fun - 'specially if there's a good park

My boots smell like a wet dog and it's farts combined. The wifes had to put them outside to air.

New liners or new boots methinks.

New boots for me Cossie... the slush in Morzine, Les Gets and Avoriaz has destroyed my boots this week!!!

Let hope the snow arrives and the temperature drops as per the forcast tomorrow.
