About Val d’Isère Podcast : Doodles in the Snow : Skiing, Daily Fun, Facts and Arty Tales.
Daily fun, facts and arty tales from Val d’Isère.
The World's Best Ski Resort ?
Laura M’s art is inspired by Val d’Isère.
The podcast shares her 35 years of local knowledge
with Val d’Isère’s legions of English speaking fans.
COVID saw her drawing, painting and doodling
the square kilometre around her home.
Laura has exhibited here, notably
“Toutes les Vies se Val", charcoal portraits of “avalins”
and pastel portraits of local dogs.
Including, of course, her 2 demonstrative labradoodles.
Interviews with her were published in 2025
in both Val Mag and le Dauphiné.
2 winters of presenting English news, weather, events and ski reports on
Radio Val d’Isère
sparked her interest in creative writing
and cheeky chatter !

More World Cup racing today in Val….. Ladies Downhill…. Will Lindsey Vonn win again ? Or Tignes speedy Laura ?
The men have their last day of racing in Val Gardena. Marco Odermatt has a first and a second under his bib and now has 50 World Cup wins, putting him joint 4th of all time winners.
Mikaela Shiffrin, of course, has more wins than any of the legendary men…
Sadly a 24-year-old British skier died in Les Arcs after falling 300 metres down a steep couloir.
Dolomite news continues…. Dinosaur tracks have been found…. 210 million years after the long necked beasts stomped across the land.
Sölden is struggling to cope with
Drunk tourists.
This time, a car was parked in the middle of a ski slope.
La Plagne is threatening the tour operators that bring 17,000 students that they must stop the nighttime noise and damage, or they will be banned.
Even in Val, after 22.00 if you want music and dancing, without meeting the Police or Gendarmes, go to a nightclub.
Emily Rothney, Team GBs snowboard star will miss the Olympics while recovering from a ACL tear.
Global Go Caroling : today is the day to sing carols.

Mixed weather. Inconsistent forecasts.
La Face is still very solid after the races, and now the OK is being used for training today and tomorrow before the weekends World Cup ladies downhill and Super G.
The men are racing in Val Gardena today. 8 Frenchmen, but no Brits.
If you are travelling today….be aware that the farmers are protesting so could disrupt your journey.
If you are going to the Three Valleys, why not fly to Courchevel. The high, short, steep runway can make nervous fliers panic, but it doesn’t have to be expensive.
We are lucky with our current snow cover – in the Dolomites they are suffering, so slopes are closed, crowds are growing and lift queues insufferable.
There was a bad accident near Chambery – five young adults in the car were injured and one was found dead, in the boot.
If you work in any capacity in the snow industry you could apply for a SPECIAL price (https://seaba-heli.com/pro/) with SEABA and enjoy a week’s heliskiing in Alaska.
UN International Migrants Day…. There is a big migrant community of ski addicts in Val.
