Thursday 25th March.
yes..new snow expected for the weekend so be prepared if driving. Late season snowfalls can sometimes be very big ones, even though roads clear very quickly after it stops.
The last few days have been very hot..and sunny..and pistes have become very worn in places. This new snow is needed, although we still have over 1m up top.
The altitude festival is going well with top comediabs performing in various bars around town each evening.Great atmosphere.
Next week will see the start of the British Ski Championships each day at Chaudanne. Try to give some support.
Apres ski will be much the same as all season, but different bands...just look at old mole reports, or pick up our magazine when you arrive.
Make sure you pick up a copy of our 3 valley lunch guide too..will save you bundles..!!
have a nice trip..
Meribel Monday 22nd March
Yes, fabulous week of music, great weather and non stop partying.The boys say they are coming back next year too..so keep an eye out for it.
Now the 3rd Meribel Altitude Festival has started with the best ever "Open Mic Night" at Evolution bar Saturday night. Full details of the week's comedy and music on this link. >>>>>ALTITUDE FESTIVAL GIG GUIDE<<<<<<<
Sadly the weather has changed for the worse!!!! Light rain Saturday and Sunday!! Rain Snow limit is 2300m approx...terrible. Bars are packed today due to the lousy weather.
The only good news is that it looks like clearing about Tuesday with colder temperatures later in the week and some more snow with luck. So if all goes as expected next week might be very good.
Next Mole report when conditions change.

Weather over next 5 days looks very mixed with some new snow above 2300m (middle station), sunny periods, and warmer temperatures. Snow chains should not be needed if driving out.
So long as it does not rain !!!! and stays cold at night the snow looks fine for next week on piste and off.

Snow is still great but weather has turned warm. It is showing first signs of spring snow if the weather stays warm and sunny and then freezes at night. This week has been mixed weather with very bad visibilty today.. More light snow is expected tonight but roads are clear at the moment all the way up to Mottaret due to high temperatures. Without a real heavy sudden fall snowchains should not be needed this weekend.
