The rosebay willowherb hasn't finished blooming yet, but there's already snow on Solaise. (John Yates-Smith, YSE) http://www.ezap.me/ValZAP Over in Tignes (www.tignes.net), the Grande Motte glacier ski area will be open every day from 7.15am until 1pm until August 29 when summer skiing ends. (John Yates-Smith, YSE) http://www.ezap.me/ValZAP Summer skiing in Val d’Isère closed on Sunday 18 July. National ski teams, local school children and ski lovers enjoyed four weeks of excellent summer conditions on the glacier. The French ski team was there for a whole month. (John Yates-Smith, YSE) http://www.ezap.me/ValZAP Val d'Isere - John Yates Smith of YSE reports that there was fresh snow up high and frost in the village on 31 July. http://www.ezap.me/ValZAP 2009/10 - Val d’Isère really showed this winter why so many people hardly bother to ski anywhere else. The snow was fantastic right up until the end, on 2 May. The pistes were better groomed than ever, and neither the slopes nor the lifts felt crowded. http://www.ezap.me/ValZAP No more Val d'Isere eZAPs until December! That's it after another fantastic season in Espace Killy! Thanks for using ValZAP. We'll be back in December posting eZAPs on ski and snow conditions in Val D for the 2010/11 season - John Yates Smith (YSE). http://www.ezap.me/ValZAP Espace Killy Monday eZAP from John Yates-Smith (YSE) - "Val d'Isere closed a week ago.
