Despite negative press coverage on snow in the Alps, Tignes has had good snow throughout this season as all the slopes are above 1800m.I been in Tignes last week, before all the snow fall and I still could ski back to the front door of my ski apartment. Not sure what the UK press is talking about.  Best to check the resorts weather forecast, piste conditions and webcams.  See contact details below. Don’t rely on the press – tends to be negative anyway.

The piste skiing in  Tignes has still be considered good for the time of year. With the new snow fall, the piste conditions will be good until season close, which in Tignes is on the 9th May!!

Below the snow conditions issued by the Tignes tourist office.  Also check the live Tignes webcams, (http://www.tignes.net/en/skiing-in-tignes/webcams-290.html) where you can see all the fresh powder. More is forecasted for this week with spells of sun and good weather. Ideal conditions!!

‘Double M’ is still the most popular run for the last few skiers visiting Tignes before the winter season finally comes to a close this Monday. ‘Double M’ is a nice challenging red and it forms part of the Tignes signature run all the way from the Grand Motte (3456m) down to Tignes Val Claret (2100m). A 1400m vertical drop with miles of skiing and stunning views down the valley and across the nearby mountain ranges.

I am still hanging on, the clouds won’t lift. Shame, but it has been a brilliant ski season. I close the door to my balcony for the final time and draw the curtains.

Just as I leave Tignes, the sun comes out. I should have hung on a little longer, but all good things have to come to an end. there is always next year.
