When is the 1st batch of serious snow likely to fall in France?

[clam]

We've booked a holiday in Les Orres (Southern Alps) for New Year. Last year it was about the only place around that had ski-able snow at Christmas. But currently the webcam shows green fields. Is this to be expected in early November, or should I worry, like last year?

I think this is normal for now. I'd have thought mid Dec?

There has been a snowfall in the Swiss Alps in last few days and more is expected. Not sure how universal this is.

We've got lots!!
