Hello !

We're already at the end of the winter season and at the end of our series of newsletters.

What a winter !

You' ll find below some pictures of the slopes at this very moment. it's quite impressive for this period fo the year , especially when we think at how it was at the beginning of the winter.

Until next winter, my thoughts are with those who have to go back to school/work and those expecting the next holidays (always too short)

See you ...in 8 months !!

Reportage fo the month:

Drawings

I wanted to highlight the nice kids who offered me a lot of beautiful drawings.

I apologise for the selection but I couldn't post all of them .

How nice is Briançon after a snow fall in ...January??

no, it wasn't in January

but last 12 April!!!!

Unbelievable !

Serre-Chevalier resort remained

covered in its entirety

with a good layer of snow

Even the cucumelle slope is of a pure white on 16 April.

At that time, it's usually half white, half rock grey.

Below : a picture of the resort in April 2008: only a large snow band going down among the Spring grass.
