Well, after a cheeky beer with Toby and Kent they both headed down to Le Chable. Se we thought a quick trip up to Savoleyres was in order to look at the view before the sun went down. And you know what? There’s actually rather a lot of snow up there..

 

Snow update by Verbier Ski Instructor

 

Yup, we all went to the T-Bar terrace last night for the annual Dearlove and Mackenzie spring barbecue – which was brilliant by the way – and guess what? That’s right, spring immediately went away and winter came charging back. So Verbier is waking up to this right now.

And the rumour is it’s going to be here for a while

After a few days enduring the kind of temperatures you expect in a nice David Attenborough documentary on a Sunday afternoon, we’ve got back to something that doesn’t make you wonder if you’ll survive until lunchtime. So, to celebrate this change in temperature Doctor Chris took over the camera and Guy charged back in front of it…

Oh, and Jonas makes an appearance. We asked for a piece to camera but he had little to say, sadly.

 

 

 

 

Olly has always hard a few issues. Monoboarding being one. And we’re very proud he’s ready to tell the world…

It’s been absolutely dumping again and despite if being a bit soggy and heavy up the hill, I just had a great day.

Sadly it’s now turned to rain in resort and the avalanche risk has just gone through the roof. But all snow is good snow and we’ve got tons and tons of it…

I know, it takes a while to get to Bruson. It’s not like hopping over to Savoleyres. But when you do it’s brilliant – like you’re in a tiny resort miles from anywhere and the crowds and queues you get in Verbier are very quickly forgotton.

And it’s especially useful when Verbier close because of too much snow or high winds. Which is precisely why happened yesterday and how we ended up there…

Meanwhile the snow is falling heavily again and I get the feeling tomorrow might be very interesting – loads of snow but probably a lot of wind and not a lot open.
