There is still a good snow coverage on all the runs in Val Thorens. The snow is pretty soft in the morning as temperatures aren't dropping below freezing overnight. A thin layer of hard snow forms on the top of the snow overnight, creating a thin crust. However, as soon as the sun hits the slope the snow turns pretty soft.
As a racer, we have a way to sort out this slush issue so we can still race safely. The secret is salt! We spread salt on the course as soon as the snow gets soft. The salt absorbs all the moisture in the snow. It works better the hotter it is!
