Well, just been up the hill and it’s clearly been snowing a lot more up at Lac des Vaux than it has down here. Which is lucky because there was a rumour doing the rounds last night that TeleVerbier are thinking about opening up there at the end of this month… Yup, that’s the weekend of the 31st.

Naturally, it’s a rumour. But it’s a good one. And given it’s pretty cold and they’ve already had the cannons going, not impossible.

Anyway, when I got back into Verbier it’d been snowing hard but not settling on the wet ground until about half an hour ago.

But if you’re very good we’ll put up the pictures of the snow at Lac des Vaux on Monday. And it’s looking very, very good indeed…

Yup, snow-forecast say we’ll get snow this weekend and I for one don’t doubt them.  OK, perhaps I just always want to believe anyone who tells me it’s going to snow. But that’s what they say…

We’ll also try to ignore the little rain cloud they appear to have accidentally put on Wednesday. And we’ll ignore the massive hoik in temperature while we’re at it.

Jonas and Kato – the legendary Verbier residents and occasional ski and snowboard instructors – are having a house warming party. And ladies, this is what your missing (there are  still spaces on the late flight into Geneva if you’re interested…):

Morning all. After a quick trip to Paris I am amazed at how cold it is. Lovely clear cold morning. And Laika loves it…!

Let’s face it – nobody gets bored of snow in October:
