So

money.

the

£1000

some

according to

Depends what you need, skiing levels, etc

..... yesterday there was a claimed 75 cms with 15cms at resort level.
Will have an update in next hour or so but just a couple of cms
overnight, won't have made much difference. Cannons have been going
strong last night in Les Arcs, as in La Plagne no doubt. 32/109 lifts,
25/128 runs open (but just 4 reds and no blacks).

As you're mobile you could always spend a day or two in Espace Killy,
45/50 mins drive.
