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 :-)

skimottaret, that means you'll probably be on Champagny Twisted Evil

Sunday is free skiing if your week follows the same pattern as mine. Don't overdo it would be my advice.

I went skiing with a friend today then met up with Stewart for lunch in the Aspen (great milkshakes).

We skied all the new areas where the lifts are gradually opening but it was very quiet. We went up Palafour and the run was so good we had to do it over again Laughing Laughing

We then took the Aeroski and as the Tommeuses lift was open we skied down creux. The piste was alot narrower than usual, but overall the skiing was great. After a brief stop for drinks at the top of Toviere we skied down piste H - this was in excellent condition. Laughing

We finished off by taking the tichot chair and skiing down Carline - also in very good condition. Laughing

It was great to be using chair lifts - I'm not a great fan of t-bars rolling eyes

Overall a wonderful start to the season - we only had grass this time last year Laughing

I'm looking forward to seeing if the forecast proves true and we get some powder over the weekend Laughing snowHead

Spikyhedgehog, Good enough (a black one for me). I take it you're out there for the season? Fancy meeting for a beer in a few weeks - I'm out there for a week from the 16th (21st is my b-day Twisted Evil ).

That goes for anyone in Tignes at the time!

I can't remember my French mobile no' but if anyone fancies it PM me and I can make myself Skypable and French mobile enabled.

Snow's pretty much stopped now, a good couple of cms fell. Should make the pistes a little less icy than they have been for the last few days.

Snowforecast says there should be a good 30cm falling over the next few days though. snowHead

A good 20cm of snow overnight & it's still snowing hard, unfourtunatly with a strong wind Sad Not sure if the lifts will open on time as i am sure the pisters will have lots of work to do to make things safe.

Maybe powder skis today rather than GS skis Blush Laughing

Yes, it snowed. Snowing last night when we arrived. Driver had to put on snow chains - not happy! Though we all were NehNeh . Met Marmalade and her mates at the airport and we all travelled together. It's a long way when it's snowing hard rolling eyes .

Lifts did open in the morning but not early and not many. Just the lower ones. Vis was bad and wind was quite gusty but snow was glorious NehNeh . Are you all jealous yet? Am now waiting to go in the hot tub. It's absolutely full of blokes with beers at the mo. And they're not even snowHeads rolling eyes .

Roll on tomorrow!

Yes, I can confirm that there is PLENTY of snow. Wind made the conditions difficult but I'm not complaining about this much snow. Just hoping there will be a couple more lifts open tomorrow.

The run under the Tichot was really good today for a little bit of powder.

Need something with more steepness though.

Didn't even get eaten up til about lunchtime. Very Happy

Guys, a bit of topic i know, but 6 of us are going to Tignes (Val Claret) on the 12th of Jan. We were just wondering what the Apres ski is really like ? We have heard great, and also bad reports. We are all between 22-25, so we obviously like a good drink after a hard days skiing Toofy Grin . Cheers.

livbes, After just returning from apres ski.... Theres a few good bars, we live in le levachet and the 2 bars closest to us are TC's and scottys, both of which have a good friendly atmosphere and the drinks didnt seem to be through the roof. (but don't expect to pay less that €5 a pint, that way you may be pleasently suprised when its only €4.50)


More on topic: Still snowing out here, fresh footsteps every time we walk out the door. snowHead

It's now been snowing for over 36 hours and is forecast to continue all day today Blush Blush The wind has dropped slightly and hopefully will deminish more as the day progresses.

Currently lots of expolsions as the pisters make the mountain safe.

The conditions are not great for the snowHead doing Test Technique training(too much snow) but are outstanding for anyone doing all terrain skiing or off piste skiing courses Little Angel Little Angel Little Angel

Had to do a little retail therapy yesterday with Mrs W as new boots were bought from Nevada sport Sad
