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 my experience it's better than nothing, but the 4-6 day forecast can be wildly inaccurate. Look on it as a general guide to conditions...

Cross check snow-forecast with this site. http://ows.public.sembach.af.mil/wxcharts/wxcharts.htm
It looks like snow particularly in Eastern Alps.

Me and my friends work on a rule of thumb of divide by 10! Probably a bit harsh, but certainly gets rid of any false hopes!!

Long did we debate the usefulness or otherwise of www.snow-forecast.com in another place...

Until recently I was completely obsessed by it, not bad for 3 day forecast but the 10 day was a bit creative - snow seemed to evaporate as it got closer Crying or Very sad

Not managed to find Regis Walters (our american weather forecaster), he had his pictures of Zermatt on Yahoo - but you need to join Yahoo to message him and it didn't seem to like the cut of m' jib.

Well, both snow-forcast and metcheck tell the same story - Snow Very Happy So fingers crossed and it might come true

 You know it makes sense.

I'v always found the six day snow-forecast pretty good for asseing the trends. i.e getting colder, milder, possibility of snow etc.
If there expecting snow in the three day range, then they're mostly right. Just not necessarily the amounts.

Normally they are correct about the timing of a dump but the dump can be a few hundred km's out.
Now is a prime example - a couple of days ago they were predicting Switzerland was going to get dumped on, this morning they are saying North Italy / Austria will get dumped on.
Haven't found anything more accurate than snowforecast.com and have been able to ski October powder for the last few years by basing my trips on their short term predictions.

Metcheck was pretty accurate, but snow-forecast was somewhat over optimistic in their predictions for snow - it didn't!

snow-guess.com is crap.
I took the 6 day forecast to La Plagne a few weeks back and with the exception of 1 day the forecast wasn't even close the reallity. We had 7 days of clear blues Cool and no cloud at all - snowguess forecasted cloud for most of the week with occasional rain. rolling eyes
