Snow Forecast Morzine Avoriaz 9 March 2009
Well the pattern of a dump a week is very much in place. We had loads of snow last week followed by blue skies on Saturday. Had some epic fresh powder runs down Crozat Bowl.
It has now been snowing off and on since Sunday and it looks like there is a load more to come tonight and tomorrow…
Blue skies from Wednesday and a trip to Chamonix is on the cards for our day off.
Watch this space for the pics.
Cheers

Snow Forecast Morzine Avoriaz 8 Feb 2009
It’s been a while since my last snow forecast blog due to a crazy Jan with “sNOwPARKING” and “OUR CAMP” freestyle weeks, heli boarding in Italy and various backcountry hiking powder missions- Blogs, Vids and Pics coming soon.
Anyway, what an epic start to Feb. It has now been snowing solidly for over 2 days all the way down to village level.
Woke up this morning to a fresh dump of 30+cm and the good news is that there is a sack full more to drop this week and temps are dropping to superminus figures.
Anyone out for the school hols is in for some truly brilliant conditions…
Avoriaz to get a facelift
I have just read this on the internet, courtesy of www.aboutproperty.co.uk. It looks like Morzine Avoriaz is about to get even better….
Pierre & Vacances Group is undertaking the massive regeneration of the Alpine ski resort, giving investors the chance to purchase new-build property in the resort for the first time in 40 years.
Two entire districts will be built, and 460 ski-in ski-out apartments created, designed to meet the current shortfall of quality accommodation in the resort, which attracts large numbers of visitors each year. Avoriaz is the closest ski resort to Geneva and is completely south-facing, allowing unrivalled sunset views over the Morzine valley.
The new residences will be built in two new districts of Avoriaz: Amara, at the entrance of the resort, and Crozats, at the top. A wide range of properties will be constructed to cater to different types of investor, including Avoriaz’s first luxury accommodation under the MGM brand.
The rejuvenation of Avoriaz will be complemented by the construction of a new water fun centre, known as the ‘Aquariaz’. Nick Leach, head of business development for the Pierre & Vacances Group, said: “P&V created the ski station at Avoriaz in 1967 and has been managing investment property in the resort for individuals and institutions ever since.
“Now 40 years later, these new-build developments herald the start of a new era of luxury mountain living with modern alpine interiors, larger living spaces and spa facilities. Much of the infrastructure and facilities at the resort are also being upgraded, with the aim of cementing Avoriaz’s place as a premier year-round destination.” The Amara project is scheduled for delivery in 2011.
Exciting stuff for Morzine Avoriaz we reckon….Bring it on!

Well after blue skies and very cold temps for the last few weeks it looks like we are in for a dusting of new snow for the New Year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Xmas Eve in the Valley de la Manche
Happy Christmas to everyone reading this.
Christmas Eve saw blue skies and busy pistes so Chris and Linz ( the guys from The Loft ) and I decided to avoid the crowds and head off to the Valley de la Manche for the first time this season.
The cold weather had kept the snow in pretty good condition, although the amount of early snow meant there were slips and slides all over the valley.
A run down the middle brought us to a windlip and resulted in us throwing ourselves off it. Here are a couple of pics…
At the top!
Chris doing his flying Santa impression.
Linz mid spin.
Finally, the parting shot on the way home…
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

Well it looks like the snow has finally stopped falling…
Temps seem to be warming up for the beginning of the week with blue skies up to Xmas Day.
Ideal for those looking to cruise the perfectly groomed pistes over Xmas.
Things are getting colder later in the week with the potential of snow towards New Year.
Here is the view of Nyon from my Balcony the other morning…

Here are the snow conditions here in Morzine and Avoriaz…
EPIC!!!
I have not seen so much snow fall in Morzine in such a short period of time.
Loads more snow is on the way with temps remaining very cold. Anyone that is coming out for a pre Xmas slide is in for a really good time.
Here’s a pic of the new rainbow rail in The Stash. It really is that big!!!
I am off for a slide in waist deep powder!

Sunday 30th November
Well there has been dustings of new snow most evenings and the temperatures have been very cold. Snow cannons have been firing each night.
Still snow in Morzine village, and the lower Pleney slopes are still white.
More snow is due to arrive throughout the coming week and temperatures will remain cold.
We had a day’s riding up in Avoriaz on Saturday and things are looking really good for an early opening next weekend, very good bases on all pistes and a good covering off piste but the larger rocks are still poking up to wreck new boards!!
Gratuitous photo time, taken whilst hiking the Arare the other week…
