6th Feb ???😮 I thought it was around the end of March. Maybe it was the worst snow season (in France at least) in many years. But it's ok, we still can have fun. Good video ! 👍

6th Feb 2024 - taxi driver was saying there is no good time to go now as the weather varies so much. Have to rely on the people managing the slopes as they will try to provide the snow and even out the slopes otherwise they lose business if too many slopes are closed.

Hi ! When, exactly, did you make that video ? I'm impressed by the little amount of snow at St. Gervais I was in Courchevel until march 20th and it wasn't much better.

Not very fast but you seemed pretty smooth and stayed in control even near the bottom where the snow wasn't so great. Anyway lots of speedy skiers are out of control and causing a danger other people and themselves.
