We're off to 3V in a few weeks. For the last dozen or so years, we've always skiied the Southern Alps, where the snow has been fab, but so has the weather. In all those years, I think we've only ever had one or two cloudy days/whiteouts.
I know that this year is a particularly good one for snow (or bad, depending how you look at it) in the Northern Alps, but every webcam I've looked at in the past month or so has looked pretty grim. How optimistic can I be that we might be able to ski in some sunshine?
I'm not asking for a crystal ball (I don't think!) but in a typical year, is that a reasonable hope? Or will I just have to head to the nearest cafe for a vin chaud if it's too unpleasant up the top?
