@squawker, enjoy Hemsedal. Some fresh snow yesteday. Looks v quiet on the webcams. Last year, they opened for a few extra weekends, IIRC - a lot of snow, last year mind. But they've shut the run back to town. Bah!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Fifty quid with Ryanair from Stansted to Memmingen if you go a week on Friday, returning Tuesday....

Hemsedal for the long weekend. We'll be one of those accursed race training groups Hope the sun is shining on Tinden.

Thanks for that dobby. As noted, we'll be training mostly (son will be training and I'll be helping/hanging about/running off to ski whatever's open). Chances are we'll be skiers left of the double t-bar at the top of the 8-pack ("fjellheisen") or on Tinden if conditions are good and the resort gives us the nod. Probably yes to free-skiing drills but no to gates.
The May 1st weekend was glorious last year - fingers crossed.
Oh, and it won't be quiet at the bottom of the 8-pack on Friday and Saturday - its the big end-of-season party with live music and people spewing their guts up by 3 p.m. Will be quite nice to avoid all that really.

@squawker, enjoy. Hope the wind keeps down so you can enjoy Tinden. They seem to like partying in hemsedal. Saw one guy barfing off the balcony. Good advert for the kids to not hit the beer too hard.

Nope, will be here at some point over the weekend, Saturday's looking good

It is after a last wee sneaky trip Glencoe today . Not my best ski effort by a long way but good fun. The "run" back to the access chair is fast becoming a "walk" but who cares for a late season slide?!

Rain @ 2600m lturned to snow at lunchtime at Stubai, final run down in weak sunshine makimg fresh tracks.
Clearer and colder now, so looking good for tomorrow

@geoffers, how much fresh is there? Last Saturday was ok but not great, so I'm wondering if it's worth making the trek up from IBK this weekend...

You know it makes sense.

Say 5-10 cm when we left at 3:30, but still sheeting down. Off up there now,nice sunny morning.

@kitenski, She can but tbh she's not really interested, she's never used it. Would have to do a 2 day 1st aid again too.

@Claude B, I think *but check with BASI* that she could do the refresher to keep her L1 license, but when the first aid lapses she becomes a member , but hasn't lost the L1 status??
That happened to me as I didn't renew first aid in time but I'm pretty sure it didn't invalidate my L2.

Nope!! My season is still going on!! First week in May and still skiing, cannot be bad. If the snow comes high up again with the rain that is forecasted I shall ski again next weekend!
For anyone interested, I just posted the photos of my day out at Glacier 3000 in Switzerland. Really nice to be able to ski 8750m vertical in one day by just using a cable car. The same as four trips in one day down the 'North Face of the Bellecote' for those that know Les Arcs and la Plagne off piste areas. Hope you enjoy the photos. This is a great place for freeriding. Well worth the effort to visit the area. Let me know if anyone wants to take a trip next season. If the weather and snow conditions are OK you can ski new routes everyday for a week without even hiking.

@snowcrazy, I've had 3 weeks in paradiski over the past couple of years and really like it for the variety of pistes, they still have mogul runs as well as carve your heart out motorways but I have had little chance to explore the off piste. Not made any plans for next season but will look you up if I'm in the area.
Motor bike season has just started!

It is now - the ski lifts have stopped in Val Thorens.

Just noticed we had both posted about being in Hemsedal for the 1 May weekend but neither of us had noticed!
It was my first time in Hemsedal (and Norway for that matter) and I thought it was a brilliant resort - couldn't have had better conditions for the Saturday and Sunday that we were there. Couldn't believe the conditions were still that great for so late in the season!
Hope you had a good weekend too!

Last day of Uk lift served yeasterday at Cairngorm. However several lifts will run at Glencoe for mid summer skiing next month....to mark the start of the nights drawing in !
No sign yet of the weather warming up appreciably

Definitely over now, unfortunately.
My last day of the season was spent crusing around the off piste on the Zugspitze with my mate Sascha. We went up hoping to find 30cm of fresh pow, but only came across 10cm (max), which during the course of the day turned into chewed up crud and slush. Wonderful all the same. Wonderful scenery and a great day.
