- For anyone skiing next week the conditions should be reasonable. It snowed
- above 1200m. on Monday in the French Alpes and Jura. Today (Wednesday) it
- was snowing above 500m. in the Jura, French Alpes and Massif Central. Snow
- was also forecast today for the Austrian Alpes. Further snow is forecast at
- the end of the week.
-
- This is too little snow to help the lower (sub 2000m. resorts) much in France
- but there should be good skiing at places like Val d'Isere, Tignes, La Plagne.
-
- The last snow at these altitudes was on the 12/Dec, so as Jeff says the conditions are starting from bad.

- David.

- p.s. extra care should be taken 'off-piste' and on the lower icy slopes.
