A Christmas gift of powder in La Plagne

It snowed quite a lot at the beginning of Christmas week in La Plagne, with a good layer of fresh snow on the pistes on Christmas Eve. Then, the sun shone on Christmas day for a gorgeous bluebird day.

Temperatures have risen slightly since then. More snow is forecast today on Friday, December 27th, with around 10cm in the morning while the sun will keep on shining into the new year.

In the meantime, enjoy the sun and snow!
