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 :-)

ok cool, well if you are looking for a bargain in march, we got flights for £45pp to grenoble and acccomodation for £70pp, looks pretty basic but we are only going to sleep there!!! we still need transfers, food, lift pass etc... but still a good price we thought!!!!

It was a pretty foul day today (which, of course is good!) Very Happy Snowing on and off at the Cretes, and I never ventured higher than 2,400m as it was foggy, snowing, flat light and very windy! Not condusive to good lessons!! Laughing Anyway at Cretes level it had snowed a teeny bit overnight (about 1-2cms), and at one point we had about 5 cms of really nice new snow on the Petit Diable. We'll see what happens tomorrow, and more snow is promised for next week. It may all fall above 2,000m though. That won't be a problem for us, but won't be good for some of the lower stations.

easiski, looks very promising for a hefty dump down to low levels round about next Tuesday wink

Next week's cold will probably be a bit of a shock to the system after the weekend warmth. Looks like about a 15 degree drop between Saturday and Wednesday !

You'll have to go pretty high, according to Meteo France its 0C up on the glacier with rain to 2700m overnight... about 20cm of Fresh at Glacier level though.

davidof, I'm afraid you were right! It certainly rained at 2,600m last night and lots of nasty very hardpack. Skating rinks all over in the town.

However: in spite of all that you can see that there's still plenty of snow left, and if we get a bit next week, it'll be great. Lots of wind today too at higher altitudes.
this photo is looking up towards the glacier, showing the wind blowing the snow around a bit.


This one is looking up the Cretes (Grand and Petit on the right). the buildings are at 2,100m, so you cn see it's not bad at all.

http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=ski;sess= does anyone agree with what they're saying. It says big dumps over the next few weeks in LDA. sounds to good to be true so i want some reassurance!!! Im out there from the 27th for a week but thinking of staying for longer, can anyone suggest some cheap accomidation or if anyone knows of a job going anywhere??? Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I came back from L2A last week. Don't sweat - the snow is fine as easiski, will no doubt confirm. The only current problem is with runs down to the resort but because they aren't too many rocks around a small covering will be OK

ENJOY

kitenski, the Missions work very well on hardpack, breakable crust, and soft slushy bumps. I'm very pleased with them, now all I have to do is improve my technique which apparently has suffered from the powder in Whistler. wink

Well; we arrived in LDA ahead of schedule, so managed to get in a cheeky half day today - GREAT FUN
apart from the brown stuff around the resort, once your up top its fine! beautiful sunshine today and forgot to wear sunscreen so a little burnt! wont forget that tomorro for sure.
Staying in the chalethotel provencal - accomodation is basic but the staff and the food are excellent.
So all in all we are happy campers!

debbi, So not fair! Make sure you leave some snow for us lot.

steve1985ski, we ar heading out on the 24th for a week. Can't help on the accomodation front sorry but I'm getting the same report from Metcheck so we should be more than ok by what the guys are telling us.

Woohooo bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!

steve1985ski, cheap accommodation is a huge problem. Your best bet is to try to get a discount on a very small (12-13 sqm) studio. Just a small room sort of thing with shower and hotplate + tiny fridge. You might get a deal on one of those over a period of time, but with Feb hols coming up it'll be tough. don't say you're looking for a job though as they won't let to you anyway! (Too many past saisonnaires damaging apartments). Good luck.

Sorry I missed the higher runs this afternoon - hopefully tomorrow. Very Happy

We had a really nice day today. The snow was good on the glacier and not bad at all to 2,600. Late in the day it was fine lower down on the gours but a bit sketchy at the very end of the schuss back to the Voute chairlift. We went up to 3,600m to look at the views, and here are mine - Kramer and Firefly will probably post theirs later
Three views from the top station (3,600m) the Barre des Ecrins; Looking across to Mont Blanc, and looking towards Italy:


Here are Kramer and Firefly on the bottom of the Dome run

In the afternoon we skied the bottom of the Echines des Chevres again with Mr Aztec and Achilles, and then went to ski the hidden valley, which was really good fun. Lots of narrow little gullies through the rock, and considering the rain etc that we'd had the conditions were not at all bad! Here's Mr Aztec with Achilles in the distance, lower down where it widens out. It gets narrow again after this.

kwakazx6r, If the temps drop the cannons will run as much as possible - we don't know when they'll rise again! Regardless of how much natural snow falls, it will be topped up as much as possible. Very Happy

snowangel., Do that - even if we don't get together, it would be good to say hello. Very Happy

It's much colder this morning, so I think the boot heaters are going in the boots before leaving the house today. Supposed to snow "quelques flocons" this morning, but big dumps looking hopeful for Monday onwards. Very Happy Very Happy

now that we've got safely home - looks like the thermocline is due to drop and likely to dump snow over the next week!! Typical. However, at least we had sunshine and the glacier runs were gr8. snowHead snowHead

It was really a lot colder today and sort of lazy bits of snow in the morning. It cleared up from that, but we had fog rolling in and out on the Cretes all day. Cold, miserable - a bit like winter really! Shocked Shocked The boot heaters came out and were needed, so I'd better go and put them on charge for tomorrow. No pix as too many hours work and no snowheads! Sad

easiski has been spot on with her snow reports. Every now and then I have a week's skiing I know that I am going to remember a long time. Last week was one of them - and not just because I became converted to helmet wearing! Fantastic skiing - and, thanks to easiski, to my best standard yet. I'll drop some pictures in when I get some time - bit of a full in-tray right now.

Oh - the Missions turned out to be a great buy. Very Happy

Having spent a very pleasant week in the company of achilles, firefly, aztec, kramer (plus partners) and of course easiski I second all their comments. As already stated we had some great skiing and lessons with easiski. achilles did lead me astray in the bars at night though Toofy Grin

Just to prove there is some snow here is a shot I took down Les Cretes.
