Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

In common with the rest of the Alps, the Dolomites have had a dump today.... Smile

May not last long (+2 in Ortisei) but look like a good start.

I've noticed that Arabba has revamped it's website and the Sport Hotel has a new webcam looking at the Burz slopes

It says 'Corvara' in the title, but I think the weather station is a 'personal' one in Arabba

Plan (de Gralba) is a good yardstick as to the condition of the valley. It's at valley bottom level pretty much. Plan is looking pants on the livecam.

It's just too warm to fire the canons. Confused

@woodsy,

Some of those runs are a brave shout looking at the livecams this afternoon. Plan (de Gralba) back to Selva will be a mess which is one route off of Ciampinoi. Selva village is still green. Confused

Looks like its snowing a bit across parts of the Dolomites this morning. However the current radar does show the precipitation slowly weakening.

It's creaking towards being OK. The higher areas of the Val G valley are skiable, very patchy low down.

It's still 4/5 degrees too warm throughout the area.

altogether rather pants, I wasn't expecting to have a green village at more than 1,400m. And still no proper snowfall on the horizon.

At least I booked the area knowing they have excellent snowmaking - that's a decent fallback...

I'm getting there this Saturday late afternoon. I've booked for a week and then I have the freedom of booking for the following week in the Dolomites or elsewhere more snowy within driving distance, assuming there's anything left to book, of course.

Laughing Well, Seiseralm is looking great today - as it should do at this time of year. Canons on full pelt too.

Nervously watching these webcams like a hawk every day - we go to Badia on the 29th for a week, hopefully the cold temps forecast after Christmas are true!

Reporter on Alpinforum yesterday did the Sella Ronda and said the skiing was good. A couple of slopes had small stones and some steep pitches were icy in the afternoon but all things considered,sounds pretty good.

The situation is quite different from last year, these are pics from the 6th of January :







Still there is some hope, if the wildest ensembles become true, we may have a very nice dump at the beginning of the year:

Yes, been watching. We go every year over New Year for 10 days - stay in Castelrotto - lots of New Years fun.

Temps will drop like a stone after Christmas so will be nice 'n crunchy. Looks like the Sella Ronda will be in good condition.

@irie, great place isn't it. I see from the dolomiti website that the Florian area opens up today too. We stayed at the Goldenes Roessl in Castelrotto/ Kastelruth last year. Lovely hotel and town, and about 2/3rds of the price of staying in St Ulrich/Ortisei.

@pjd, Yes, all looking very good, Florian is Mrs irie's favourite piste. Bamby is now open and when it opens you know that all the other side is on the way.

The Sella Ronda is reporting 216km open today out of a possible 441km.
With the cool down starting on Boxing Day that leaves 6 days out before the New Year to get more runs open. If it stays cold 90% of the runs can be covered by snow making so there is a good chance that nearly the whole are will be operational by 2015, even if it doesn't snow. That sounds impressive to me snowHead

Yes, it will get increasingly cold from Thursday onwards - perfect snow canon weather.

We fly into Innsbruck on Monday, and Tuesday onwards (on the Seiser Alm and Sella Ronda) looks pretty much like clear blue skies for the 10 days we're there. All bar two mickey mouse lifts/pistes are open on the Seiser Alm.

Indeed, what a difference to the French Alps!

We cleared off from France years ago after getting fed up with being ripped off, ramshackle lifts and ski buses, Russians and their whores, and the general lack of investment in skiing infrastructure.

Still lots of uncertainty over the path of the developing low pressure but on one scenario the area gets over 1 meter of snow on Sunday and Monday!
