Suddenly the snow stopped and the clouds parted and we got a glimpse of what’s on offer tomorrow…

The snow’s coming down in town and the forecast is for it to keep going all day. Which nearly makes up for the act we were due a load more on Friday but there’s high pressure moving north over the Med which has scuppered things. (Now, that’s a pretty geeky answer but we know you only deal in the cold hard facts).

Still, it’s pretty relentless snow this morning so cross something for us…

Meanwhile it’s been baltic in resort the last few days, but it’s also been blue skies and looking stunning. This stunning in fact:

Snow update…

Here are a couple of snaps in town this morning but we’ve also just been told they’ve got over a foot of fresh down by Lake Geneva (cheers Rob – and everyone else have a read of his splendid blog).

Well, while we were sitting in the office it would appear that Felix was letting the rest of the team have fun. Unscheduled fun actually.

Meanwhile it’s also been pretty in town…

It’s unbelievable. Snow is coming down in bucket loads… Toby’s also ben busily getting videos of us skiing / training / falling over with Felix. If you’re lucky we’ll pop some up later…

Yup, we’ve started the season and are proudly sporting a green outfit that combines the very best of Norwegian style with a bit of Kermit the frog…

We can officially  confirm winter has started. It’s always the same – you turn your back for ten minutes and when you look back all the lifts are open, there are all sorts of people hanging about town (who weren’t there ten minutes ago) and it’s freezing and snowing.

So I nipped over to Saas Fee for a couple of days and got back to find out that – without warning – winter had started in Verbier. But it wasn’t a wasted trip to Saas fee, because I discovered three vital things.

1. Saas Fee is the coldest place on earth on its day.

2. Saas Fee is very pretty and impressive – if you can stop shivering long enough to maintain focus on anything.

3. Saas Fee needs to talk to a design agency when it comes to creating posters to advertise their restaurants. Although they do have a certain ironic charm. Although I can’t recommend the lasagna.
