Yup, skis will be destroyed by badly covered boulders, as will bits of people attached to them. Unless they are on pistes where the resorts will desperately bash the one dump to iron hard ice, to try to keep it for as long as possible and pretend that they are in working condition.
Looked at Meteo France this morning, they are forecasting sunshine and cold for as far as the eye can see, so just what they DONT want. Mind, last week they were forecasting a week of heavy snow and fronts for this week, so what do they know?
