Replying to The French skiing side of things.

These here questions are for you kind French folks. Your forum is lame, so I opted for ski gabber.
My questions:
1. Are the Alps currently getting snow, whats the temperature like?
2. Ive read on the web that Chamonix will be having a new Euro park design crew, designing a park for Des Grands Montets (Ho5 or something is the name)! Have you heard of this or do you think it will be legit? (Just for the days where I can't scare myself silly with the good stuff Cham has to offer).
3. Where is the best place to order my passes?
4. Does the town of Chamonix have good urban rail potential?
5. Finally, are the local buses fairly good?

If you did read THANKS! Answers would be greatly appreciated!
