Snow advisory issued Sunday 6th July at 1am NZ time: Snow developing on Monday for the Victorian Alps and spreading steadily east. Initially snow will only settle above about 1700m but by Tuesday it will fall to resort levels. Moderate to heavy snowfalls then continuing for several more days. Snow showers in New Zealand becoming confined to eastern areas including Mt Ruapehu on Sunday and Monday. Fine and frosty weather for most areas.
I love Argentiere, probably my favourite ski-place in Europe. Top tip - do the Pierre-a-ric run over and over in the middle of the day, it's pretty much empty and well groomed, with perfect snow. From the top of the Bochard lift watch the nutters abseil into the Couloir Plomb (the steepest off-piste drop). Brilliant place to sort out your mogul technique!

What can you say about Argentiere? Grand Montets is just fantastic. So much skiable terrain and on a powder day incredible. Night life is mainly pubs but a quiet night can quickly degenerate into an all night feeding frenzy and with Chamonix only 10 minutes away...
So what are you waiting for - If its big mountain skiing you're looking for then get on board!
