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 :-)

Best snow from Geneva?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi there
Booked to fly into Geneva this Saturday to spend the week in Tignes. Starting to get seriously concerned that there will be insufficient snow and thinking about contingency plans. Have a hire car. Where is there that's accessible from GVA that currently has decent snow?

Tignes is one of the few places which are not forecast some rain at resort level for the next few days. I would have thought it would be as good as anywhere and better than most. Might be somewhere further south - see this thread http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=114314#2617130

Go to Cervina in Italy only 2hrs from Geneva through the Mont Blanc tunnel currently best snow in Alps or go to Zermatt or Saas fee if you can afford it .

I'm in the same predicament, flights to Geneva on the 11th.
I was on an Italian site yesterday that said it had started to rain in Cervinia!

I'd be very interested to hear how you get on from this Saturday as we can drive to anywhere from Geneva and probably don't need to decide until this time next week.

Went to Zermatt. Not fully open but enough to make it worthwhile. Only problem is there's hardly anyone on the slopes so no queues=legs don't last as long.

Cervinia valley is 2050 metres. First floor is on 2500. Second is on 2900. Top is 3500. With the international skipass you get up to 3900.

If Cervinia has a problem with too low snowline, then any other resort has too.

If there is a "climate challenge" in Cervinia, it's the wind.

@Onnem, I skied down to Cervinia yesterday along piste 7. Was fantastic snow at the top and pretty good all the way down until about 500 metres from the bottom when it became hard as concrete. Didn't have enough time to ski above plan maison but it looked good from the lift. Snow on KM glacier is excellent.
