Yes, having battled man-flu Guy was able to drag himself into the sunshine to tell you what it’s like up in Verbier.

And frankly it’s rather good – nice slushy spring snow with a few wet slides in the afternoon on the south facing slopes that have meant the Route de Carrefour has had to shut as few times.

You’ll also notice a bit of GoPro footage after we won a camera in the CK Verbier Christmas Advent Calendar competition. And CK Helen makes her farewell appearance as she’s off to Blighty on Friday and – get this – genuinely wanted to be in one of our weather reports before she left. Funny girl.

Anyway, that’s her falling over near the end.

And yes, the mic is a bit dodgy. Sorry about that.

 

Yes, Toby has been sacked as the director of the weather report and we’ve drafted in Nick to show us how to do arty things. I think you’ll agree it feels more like a sequence from and episode of Top Gear rather than the usual shaky weather report…

Once again Sophie steps in front of the camera, although if you’re all very good Kent will be doing one in the very near future. So behave yourselves.

Get out of Verbier and over to Nendaz – blue skies and amazing conditions and about 20cm of fresh….

No blue skies today and the wind is starting to get stronger. But the really really big news is that it’s NOT dumping.

In fact it’s the first time this year it’s snowed and not been an massive storm. I feel faintly disappointed…

Yes, Toby took over the direction of the weather report this week and he’s delivered a meaningful piece that allows him to both express his feelings and communicate them through the medium of his muse, Sophie, and some incidental jazz…

I think it’s hard to disagree that if the Baftas were just a week later it could have been a contender.
