A bit more detail than usual 'cos it was our first day out! Great skiing and boarding above 1850 on the opening weekend.

So what's open?
Basically Chenus, Biollay, Verdons and Saulire lifts are open (and all the pistes in between). The Premier Neige pass also allows you to ski down to Mottaret and back via Pas du Lac. This is in great condition in lovely sunshine, it does get a bit hard as you arrive in resort - nothing new there then!

So where's the best snow?
Biollay is also in excellent condition (but thin cover in places) and the runs from the top of Chenus and especially Saulire are as good as ever. The closed Lac Bleu and Creux runs (with a walk or hitch down to 1650) are superb but the odd rocks are still poking through in places.

Can you ski down to resort?
Finally, the (closed) run down to La Tania was absolutely awesome high up above the Gondola station. Well worth the run down even if the bottom section down in to resort is a mixture of artificial man-made icy crud with the odd rock poking through - this will of course be sorted out by the army of piste bashers before we open next Saturday. The mounds from the snow cannons will be flattened out and the resort runs will definitely open.

Sun is shining once again, better get out there.....
