Chamonix Snow Report: 17th December 2004
At last the snow has started to fall. Late last night the first snowflakes for several weeks bravely formed themselves, and this morning there has been a light covering of a couple of inches on the tops of the slopes - but still no massive dump.
The weather forecast was for major snow between the 18th and 20th - good timing for the start of the holiday season, although it looks like we are just having a taster of things to come for the moment. The first piste have opened, aided by the snow cannons.
We are placing our money on Sunday as the big fall.... watch out!
