Heavy snow fell across the northern areas of the French Alps on Sunday 17th January. The new snow dramatically transformed conditions providing powder conditions for Monday morning. On Monday it was a blue bird ski day providing the perfect environment for skiers to enjoy all of the new snow. Le Corbier (60/105cm) received 20cm of snow on Sunday which produced powder skiing for Monday 18th January. The resort is located in the Maurienne valley along with the resorts of La Toussuire (99/129cm), Valloire (25/120cm) and Val Cenis (35/160cm) which also benefitted from new snow. The Three Valleys also received heavy snow on Sunday. 30cm was reported at Courchevel (85/124cm) and even lower down in the area at La Tania (70/126cm) 15cm was received. As with most of the French Alps it was sunny on Monday providing the perfect setting for exploring the new snow. Snow fell as far south as Alpe d’Huez (112/215cm) which received a light dusting along with Chamrousse (75/100cm). At Chamrousse powder was still to be found on Monday 18th January due to an accumulation of snow over the past week. A light dusting of snow is forecast for Wednesday across the southern areas which will refresh the ski resorts.
