| We're in Tignes too. Shall we do a snowheads meet up? |
That would've been good @My little friend - it's always good to meet fellow  But, unfortunately, we'd already left Tignes (for a hotel night near Geneva Airport) just before your post  Maybe another time eh?
Just back from a gorgeous Thai meal (at 'Chez Mamy' in Ferney Voltaire), which rounded off a fantastic week - three days final fling Magic Pass skiing at Glacier 3000 in Switzerland, followed by three days at Tignes/Val D. Another glorious day today and still some lovely snow conditions - down to La Daille first thing was particularly good. And Solaise was perfect (lovely spring snow) early afternoon  Face mid morning was brilliant on the top half (lovely groomed snow) but an exhausting slushfest of bumps after that...

@My little friend, sorry too many jobs to do and other commitments this week. You might find some folk around at La Paillote in Lavachet on Monday evening.

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

Thanks for your quick responses! I have my Snowhead sticker on my helmet so if anyone is out, you may notice me!

The pistes are shrinking in width, not helped by rain below about 2,400m last night. Still some nice skiing to be had particularly on bits that have had little traffic. Skied down to La Daille late morning - very quiet. I don’t think it would have been a great deal of fun much later. Some of the slush is turning to slop in the afternoon. Makes for very wet trouser bottoms. Most folk seem to pack in at lunchtime.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Last day of the season today. Some of the pistes still in good condition, others just strips of white or beige across the mud and at times a bit boggy. Understandably very quiet, although the weather stayed on the more optimistic side of the forecasts and it has yet to start drizzling in the village. The marmots were so confident of the lack of interest from skiers and borders that they were playing on a number of the pistes.
We had to finish early to pack and do a thorough spring clean. Mrs SL hates the thought that someone might break into the apartment and form the opinion that we operate something less than the highest standards of housekeeping.
The long drive to Glasgow starts in the morning.

@GeorgeVII, Phil the Sparky was complaining his newly mown lawn was all white!
In other news, the demolition of the Hauts de Toviere Hotel in Lavachet is confirmed for this summer (no date yet). This of course means La Queue de Cochon will sadly pass into history along with tales of its forerunners - Harry’s Bar, Censored and Scottie’s and originally La Queue de Cochon!
