Well the weather forecast was completely useless… well to be fair it was accurate for about an hour. Cloudy and cold but no snow.

Sadly for the rest of the day it was snowing so we stayed below the treeline when we could. It was also much warmer than predicted, but that is a good thing.

Lunchtime was spent bemoaning the lack of the self. It seems that pretty much throughout Meribel and Courchevel now you have a choice of a hotdog in a deckchair or a relatively expensive restaurant lunch. There used to be 3 or 4 reasonable self service places. Tommorrow we’ll take lunch with us.

The end of the day was a complete white out. We spent 45 minutes trying to work out which way was down on ‘one last run’ to arrive in Mottaret from the right direction and avoid a 3 minute walk….

I wonder if that forecast will be even remotely correct….
