Heavy snowfall covers Les Arcs & La Plagne; stick to the trees and it's EPIC

We have had so much snow here in Les Arcs and La Plagne, it's hard to believe quite how much has come down. The full ski area is not yet up and running but we do have a few lifts and runs working. there is even more snow forecast for the weekend so once the skies clear and the piste bashers get out we can expect some great days on the hill. Until then we're sticking to the trees.

Location
Les Houches

Or it would if I wasn't sweating, panting and massaging the cramp out of my calves at the end of the first run.
