"We arrived just before the gondola started loading and crammed in. Not all the lifts were open right away, so we skied deep lower mountain powder until the Cote Chevalier lift opened for business around 9:30 am. We happened to arrive just as ski patrol was dropping a rope into a huge zone. We dropped first and this run gave us a sense of the day ahead. Very deep, fluffy, incredible snow that had fallen straight down with no wind."
"We awoke to a foot of snow on our car in the village of La Salles Des Alpes at the base of the Serre Chevalier ski resort in France. All this new snow came in a large dump overnight. We knew it was gonna be deep up on the hill. Serre Chevalier, France, Stats: We scrambled to eat, stretch, gear up, move out of our hotel room, and dive onto the slopes."
A foot of snow accumulated overnight on cars in La Salles Des Alpes at the base of Serre Chevalier. Skiers rushed to the gondola and skied deep lower-mountain powder until the Cote Chevalier lift opened around 9:30 am. Ski patrol dropped a rope into a large zone and the first descent revealed very deep, fluffy snow that had fallen with virtually no wind. Riders lapped Clot Gauthier's freeride zone, explored Vallons' south-facing trees, and tackled Cibout's 2,600-vertical-foot tree runs. The day ended around 3:30 pm with a late lunch at Le Montagn'Art in Le Monêtier-des-Bains.
