Not too bad in Sainte-Foy; DH is there now and it's not great, but ski-able if you can go off piste to find the powder. On-piste will be more reliant on overnight cannons, so that depends on where you are going and it's far from ideal.

French alps due a large storm on Christmas Day apparently! We are off for new year so fingers crossed...

Not the best in Morzine but enough to keep us going for now.

Lots more forecast for Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Here in La Rosiere there is plenty. It has snowed for the past 24 hrs. Problem here is the wind though. It blew most of the powder off a couple of days ago and visibility and snow has made skiiing today pretty impossible too unfortunately. We got a cuple of runs in yesterday but no such luck today.

This site, Snoweye is quite fun - it's a set of links to web cams. It won't tell you everything you want to know, but you can see quite a lot.

Loads more here in Morzine now Grin

Thanks, now in 3valleys and snow is fine. That webcam site is fantastic - thanks! Of particular interest to me as there are cams showing the road conditions, very helpful when driving!
