November 22, 2008: Now it’s really looking the part. There’s been a significant dump in Morzine & Les Gets and there’s a heavier snowfall predicted over the latter part of this weekend. The temperature has plummeted and is well below zero and the snow cannons are in full flow. All this is great news – hopefully there’ll be a great base down for the season. Avoriaz will be open in three weeks’ time – who knows, they may even go for an early opening at this rate! Here’s hoping!

November 15, 2008: There’s been more snowfall up high this week – up to 10cm has fallen in Avoriaz and more is forecast for next week… Happy days!

November 7, 2008: January 2009 will see the return of the Savoie Mont-Blanc Grande Odyssée dog sledge race to Morzine and Les Gets. It’s a long-distance husky dog competition which journeys through the Portes du Soleil between 10th and 14th January, featuring some of the top dog teams from around the world. See the dogs and mushers up close and personal whilst they fly through the village!
