The busy February half-term period is about to start as some northern Europeans have already descended upon Alpe d'Huez and we've seen the first lift queues of the month.

Last week, from Monday to Wednesday, we had a pretty decent dump of snow which improved conditions on and off the piste massively. Over the weekend, the weather was grey and damp and the overcast skies have continued today.

There's more snow on the forecast for tonight and tomorrow.
