There’s a lot written on the walls of the T-Bar – menus, beer prices, music nights and so on. But today this little notice got everyone’s attention: there’s a meeting tomorrow at TeleVerbier to decide if the lifts open on Saturday. This winter could be starting very, very soon…

The picture doesn’t really do the snow justice, but it’s all looking very white up there and it seems that TeleVerbier have been running the Funispace. Bring on Saturday.

I know the Funispace looks tiny in the photo, but it has been running. Trust me…

It’s been raining all day and started trying to snow in town about an hour ago. It’s settling at the top of town (check the webcam) but refuses to let up. Theory is it carries on all night and tomorrow so should be doing the business up at Lac des Vaux… Hopefully by tomorrow we’ll have a lot more.

Finally something relevant to blog about. No need to just mock Kato and Jonas or discuss the merits of coffee on the T-Bar terrace, because we might be in for that much needed dose of snow to get Lac des Vaux rolling on time. A week on Saturday. Thoughts?

As promised, here are the pics from the weekend at Lac des Vaux. At times I was stepping into knee-deep snow drifts, but usually about 15-20 cm. A very good start, and if you don’t think it’s really been that cold, just click on the image to see the full gallery, including the frozen waterfall on the Col des Mines traverse…

Thought it would be a good idea to bike up to La Chaux today.  It was horrendously cold, even when biking uphill.  Coming back down was absolute torture.  Got a few decent photos to whet the appetite though.  I wonder if this means we’re in for another record season?   N
