| The glimmer of surface hoar crystals in the sun |
The temperatures in Verbier have finally dropped enough to start making copious amounts of artificial snow again, although only really above Ruinettes. Pistes are in pretty good condition still, although they are a bit busier, and finally the end of the 'M25' to Ruinettes has softened up a little with the 'new snow'.

| Busier pistes and artificial snow making, Verbier in full swing! |
In town we are all excitedly awaiting the first storms to arrive, hopefully this weekend and early next week.

| Surface hoar just off the pistes |
However, with the cold temperatures we spotted a huge layer of surface hoar, about 2 inches deep around by Lac de Vaux, so when the new snow falls this will not be a good layer for avalanches. I can only hope it will disappear!

In the meantime, the skiing has been well interspersed with walks around the mountains.
