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 :-)

VolklAttivaS5, the Tignes Tourist Office is reporting 60cm of snow at Le Lac and 130cm at the top of the Grand Motte. MeteoFrance are reporting just over 100cm at 3,000m in La Plagne.

rob@rar, excellent. I did have a look at the Ski Club info it said the funicular only is open at mo because it's windy.

Are you doing a bit of course work over the weekend Rob or are you going for the weekend for free skiing so to speak?

The Ski Club info is nearly as bad as Snowforecast.com, Tichot & La Rosset lifts were also open from 08.30 ish Little Angel It looks like more lifts may be open tomorrow as piste bashing has been going on all day.

Mrs W, great thanks for telling us that. I was hoping someone was going to say it was wrong. Seemed a bit far fetched having just that open and nothing else. I think it was "updated" at 1pm too so that's poor if Tichot and La Rosset lifts were open at 08.30 ish!

I've seen webcams showing around the centre on Snoweye and Tignes Net but why are the ones up on the mountains stuck on a date last May? Will they be activated when the resort opens properly?

Whilst I realise I'll be out there in just over 2 weeks, I'm still an inpatient bunny and need my daily web cam fix Cool

VolklAttivaS5,

1st one looks like the tow to the left of the Palafour chair.

2nd is the avalanche shelter on the road between Le Lac & Val Claret

3rd looks like the "fingers" to the right of the Aeroski (usually floodlit at night) taken from the same place as photo 2

It's looking good.

Sounds great (jealous). What lifts are currently open if the glacier isn't open? Just Tichot and Lanches? Or is Grattula open as well?

Grattalu & funicluar open as well. Laughing Also if you are a beginer free lift in Le Lac open Blush

Glacier closed due to cable being blown off cable car during last weeks storms. Curently lots of ice/snow on cables and considered too dangerous to ski under Sad
However the security de piste allowed us to WALK up the champagny piste to access 3500 for race training. A 30minute walk at 3000 meters is not easy and the snow was too soft to set gates Sad The good news was 60cm of fresh light powder which was magic to ski and didn't get tracked out too quickly NehNeh

Looking forward to more lifts opening at the weekend and lots of fresh tracks Laughing Laughing Laughing

hobbiton, midnight.

Snow all the way down to Albertville hospital, perfect conditions, back bottom deep powder, Dipsy powering through the snow in search of perfect snowballs, Meg barking like a loony after her. Mother and baby doing brilliantly,. This week you guys can have the snow. wee Victoria has arrived(see apres zone) and it would have to be some couloir to even come close. Love to all, more soon.
