France has the most mixed bag of resort reports from the current varied snow conditions in the Alps.

Low temperatures have helped to preserve pre-Christmas snow falls on higher slopes, but whilst temperatures remain below zero and the sun keeps shining, conditions feel great, but more new snow would help.
