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 :-)

Saas Fee Lift Pass Offer
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

New Year week was busy, and also struggled with the conditions a little bit, with not all runs open and no easy ways down open it was a little bit of carnage on the reds below Morenia and then the blue below Spielboden down to the village. Not sure if it was busier or just felt it. We are back out 9th March so will have a better comparison then.

@PowderAdict, are you back from your trip yet? How was the snow, and was the resort busier than usual?

@suggul, Still in the resort. Until yesterday they had little new snow since New Year (the biggest snow fall blew away the following day). The snow that had fallen had been retained due to low temperatures, and it was the first year that there had been snow on the ground from Geneva all the way to Saas-Fee.

The pistes have been in good condition, mainly man made below mid station, so better in the morning and getting a little polished in the afternoon. Glaciers of course have the best snow. The resort and pistes are quiet, but this is low season.

Absolutely no off piste, with the coverage as it would 'normally' be in November. Some areas where I normally ski were showing metre sized boulders, that I was unaware of. We had 4cm of snow yesterday, with 20-25cm forecast later in the week.

With regards to the Lift Pass offer, I was talking to the hotel manager, and he said the main rational behind the offer was that the resort costs the same to run whether there are 50 or 5000 skiers, as all the lifts and facilities and staff need paying. He mentioned that the hotel bought 400 of the offer passes to sell to guests, so that would have boosted the total. He also said that the lift company has significantly more money at the start of this season, than the end of last season, so they are in a much better position. Whether or not this causes serious impact to future years remains to be seen.

@PowderAdict, thanks for the info. That's v interesting about the lift passes. I was looking at a hotel website and they were also offering the season lift pass for CHF222. I wonder how many of the 75,000 (or whatever they sold) passes were bought by the hotels to then offer as packages.
