It’s been snowing again and we managed to not only get up Mont Fort – where there was about 40 cm and not a breath of wind – but we also skied the Gentianes itinerary just as the cloud broke. And it was rather nice. And made all the nicer by the knowledge everyone else in Verbier couldn’t see more than ten feet in front of them…

Yup, snow came back yesterday and the sun came back today. OK it’s not two feet of fresh but it’s made a massive difference to resort – both by topping up the pistes and by transforming the mood of everyone here…

And the forecasts are all suggesting more coming Thursday and next weekend. Now, we know you’re too pragatic to be easily excited by long range forecasts, so enjoy the pictures and you can be sure we’ll keep you posted if any more arrives.

(PS blame iPhone if the quality of a couple of the snaps is a bit dodgy).

Yes, your prayers have been answered – we’ve got snow and it’s looking like more than anyone was forecasting. So cross your fingers that it keeps going tomorrow… And, on that note, we’ll get a load more pictures for you and blog them in all their glory tomorrow too.

So, a bit of a traffic jam into town is not uncommon, but this one was more interesting… It appears a Renault hatchback decided to explode and the firemen got stuck in. All rather dramatic and resulting in an above average bus ride home.

(Don’t worry – the family who were in it all got out fine and saved the contents of the car before it turned into an inferno).

So, it turned out a few of us had a few days off and Felix thought it would be a great idea to go skiing. So we did. And it was brilliant. If a little scary…

Big thanks to Felix, Anders, Ben and Seb from Powder Extreme and Big Seb – especially as I’ve nicked a few of his photos here…

Yes, Kent took anybody who was at a lose end in Verbier on a tour of the Four Valleys. And it was all rather nice – especially the cheese. And it looked a bit like this:
