Wall to wall sunshine as 2020 starts in Meribel
There's little change in the weather from what Eliot reported last week. The skies are still blue and the sun keeps on shining in the Three Valleys.
The snow is in surprisingly good condition despite the lack of fresh snow, which is surely thanks to the fantastic snow groomers we have in Meribel. However, there are some hard patches here and there, which soften up as the sun warms the pistes.
Next week, we will see even more sunshine.
