Ollie & Neil have been enjoying a very sunny week this week. There's been no fresh snow since the 26th December but the pistes are in great condition, and the Sarenne too, thanks to its new snow canons.

Skiing is possible down to all the surrounding villages & the snow park is open with a few features like boxes and rail accessible, but we'll have to wait for more snow for some of the bigger kickers to be built.

They boys have been on the Sarenne by Night experience this week too, so if you fancy finding out what it's like, have a read of their latest activity review.

A few centimetres of snow is expected on Sunday at 2200m and it looks likely there will be a bigger dump coming mid week next week.. fingers crossed!

If you're looking to make your own videos while you're in resort, why don't you hire a GoPro while you're here. Find out how by checking out 3SixtyCams.com.
