Team report
Saturday, March 7
We are open. If you feel like coming for a few runs, we’ll be waiting for you.
Nature is not on our side this morning, with mild temperatures and rain at the base and possibly wet snow at the summit, with the mercury hovering around freezing as we write these lines. Everything should stop in the afternoon and give you alternating sun and clouds. So it will be very pleasant to end the day. Enjoy it!
Lifts in operation
I, IIo, II, IV, VII, and the magic carpet according to the regular weekend schedule (opening at 8:30 a.m.)
Conditions:
Grooming: Please note that with the temperatures forecast for the next few days, no grooming is planned in order to protect the surfaces. (Except for major and/or necessary corrections).
The spring-like conditions that are appearing will lead to freeze-thaw cycles depending on the temperatures during the day.
We may see hardened snow early in the morning following yesterday’s thaw (especially near the summit), followed by fine granular snow and heavy, sticky snow as the day progresses. The mercury could reach up to 13 degrees.
The base is firm with a few slippery patches here and there that you may encounter. In the woods, in particular, there are still bumpy surfaces and a few thinner spots may appear.
The temperature observed at 5 a.m. was –3 degrees in the rain.
The chalets that are open are Altitude 400 (main chalet), Altitude 840 with food service, and 680 as a refuge only.
IMPORTANT! To be reviewed depending on the weather.
Alpine hiking trails will be reserved for experts this morning due to the very hard packed and slickly surface. However, the trails will be accessible to all in the afternoon as conditions soften.
The alpine touring trails are all open. See the trail map, schedules and link to purchase passes and tickets at montsutton.com/alpinetouring
**Changes are always possible after patrol inspection and some trail segments may remain closed.. Also, at your arrival, check the daily report: it will show you which trails have been groomed
