Is Winter on its way?

We are back in Scotland at the moment, the weather has made a big change with a real cold blast this weekend. Looking at the webcams for La Tania and Meribel it appears they have had the same with snow down to resort levels. We can still expect most of  this to disappear but looking at the forecast it appears as though it will stay cold for the next few days, lets hope this is a promising sign as the start of the season gets closer.

Last ski season was amazing with a lot of snow but it did wait until the very last minute before it started to fall. I am normally relaxed about the beginning but I will confess that at the start of December I was starting to get a little twitchy. I do not expect to have the road bike out in the Alps in late November but that was exactly what happened.

So the snow on the ground today and the predicted cold weather are welcome. More snow is forecast for later in the week but higher up this time. We now have less than 6 weeks before the lifts open in Courchevel and the week after will see the opening of the ski lifts in Meribel and La Tania.
