Last weekend we arrived in Verbier just in time to see the last light on the mountains, and it did not look good. A week ago there was 60cm on snow on the mountain report and today there is a mere 35cm. Bare all the way up to Savoleyres and Ruinettes, in addition to being too hot to make artificial snow; it looked more like spring than early December.

What could there possibly be to get psyched for?!

Yesterday we headed up the mountain for a look at the pistes and...
 |
| Remembering how to ski on pretty good pistes |
- The pistes were in surprisingly good nick
- You can ski Lac de Vaux, La Chaux, and from Attelas to Ruinettes and the James Blunt chairlift
- It is super quiet
- There aren't that many rocks on the piste - a few but I've seen way more in Spring!
- Trail running conditions are still in
- If you have a 4x4 you can drive to Les Ruinettes!!!
- The ski pass is cheaper this week
- A storm is due at the end of this week
- If you are lacking psyche hang out in a telecabine full of gap year students, they are very psyched!
- No one is stressed as the clients have yet to arrive
However there is absolutely no off piste and probably won't be any for a long time, so pack your trainers and piste skis.
