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 :-)

Les 2 Alpes - Winter 2007/8

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Nothing real to report today except that the snow cannons have been working and there are tiddly patches of snow on some of the nursery slopes. Almost all of them were working yesterday when I went out (but it was cold), but I was too early today and it was still too warm. Still - a step in the right direction, and if you look on the village webcam early in the morning you might just see some in action. Very Happy

Re: comments on the PSB thread I assume the improved lower levels in the last 3 years is due to the cannons ..... It's odd though because there was lots of high snow in 2002/3 winter (I remember it as a good one), and that was the summer that did for the glacier skiing (in the sense of getting right down to the glacier itself) ... OTOH Cathy told me she can remember 2 summers in the 1970s when the whole glacier was black! Shocked Just goes to show it's all nonsense. rolling eyes

Look what I saw when I woke up this morning. Cars as seen out of my bedroom window; trees directly in front of the balcony and view to the right of the balcony. Not much more snow up the hill that I could see, but a step in the right direction. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

It's continued to snow fairly gently all day, very, very cold and a bit windy. However all cannons were working when I went up to the town (even the high pressure ones), so they're making hay as they say. Will try to take more photos tomorrow. snowHead snowHead

Early this morning I could see accross the valley and although the snow was not thick anywhere it was low down. A lot has melted during the day, but the nursery slopes where the cannons have been on are holding up well. They're not skiable yet, but it looks like staying cold for a good few days and more snow is forecast for Weds next week. It clouded over this afternoon, so it might even drop a little more tonight.

I also saw these birds flocking against the cloud, and thought it looked so spectacular that I had to photograph it.

fragy, thinking of staying at the Lutins but havent booked anything yet. We never been to LDA before so not sure where the good bars are! Going back again in April for a full week with all the families so 2 visits this season!

The studio looks nice, were you a regular visitor to LDA prior to buying it?

SteveKirby, a proper town bar frequented by locals and SH's alike would just happen to be....... the Lutins Very Happy
Polar Bear bar is worth a look as well, it's easy to find just down the road from the Lutins on the way to the town square.

Steve, only went to LDA to mtb before buying over there, looked at Morzine and Les Gets but the prices where a lot higher for a place on the outskirts of town. Managed to find this place while doing the freeraid classic last June right in the centre of the resort for half the price. Only skied in Italy before getting this place so found the runs graded a little different but really have enjoyed it both times we have skied there since. If you haven't been before just check the prices of beer in the different bars as they can vary a lot. if you are after a place to stay maybe check out www.sasles2alpes.com they are all looked after by the same girl who is the key holder for my place, she really does provide a good service(not just saying that) it is the feedback i have had from guests from this summer. stay in touch from now till you go, sure we can meet up for a beer or a run on the slopes, more the merrier i say.

fragy, SteveKirby, I suggest we meet up on Sunday evening apres ski. We could go to the Lutins as it's so central.

fragy, Nice wensite, what building are you in? I don't regonise the shape style of the studio. Tory is going from strength to strength. My Friends Fran and Mike who some snowheads met at the PSB have just switched to her and are already much happier.

snowheads with apartments in LDA are now (to my knowledge, off the top of my head): R32, Fragy, Paul McK, Pollyperks, Aztec. Very Happy

Another dusting last night. I'll post a photo later as I'm waiting for a guy to come and help me with the recalcitrant doorway. Very Happy

All shaping-up nicely. Just the sort of gentle build-up of freeze-thaw-freeze we need for a nice solid base to developover the next few weeks. Last year I trashed my skis (again) hacking down a baseless Valentin because I couldn't bear to come down in the lift. Not learning from my mistakes, I intend to do the same this year... See you all circa 17th December. Hurrah!

Hurtle, Yeah - I'm just put out! Last year I had a certain M. Or disbelieving my photos, and now we're swamped with threads discussing rubbish! There were an aweful lot of views of the thread last year, but it's starting all over again isn't it? For me to go from here to photograph the Valentin or the nursery slopes means that I have to remember (not easy), have to take my camera, have to drive to the other end of the village ...... I generally do it but really!!!!

As others have mentioned can I add my thanks easiski, for the thread and updates. Hi fragy, looking forward to a beer and a ski with you all. Here's hoping for a bit more of the glorious white stuff before the 1st snowHead . We're also going from Stansted to Grenoble, I'll keep in touch. Don't know Des, sorry, but hopefully will get to meet everyone when we're over.
