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 :-)

I know, just saw that. The north atlantic pressure charts show the high pressure sticking around over the alps for this week at least so no chance of snow if that's the case. Evil or Very Mad

Just got back yesterday. The Manchester flight from Chambery was excellent, only 38 on board and beautiful views all the way home. The Gatwick passengers didn't look quite so happy though......

The good news is that virtually the whole of Espace Killy is open. Even La Sache down to Breviers apparently. The skiing was good everywhere but the very best snow was on the Fornet glacier.

It was quiet last week with almost no queuing. Did anyone else see the 100 plus 'Santas' from Reading University ? Apparently I missed their communal strip Shocked

I noticed something last week compared with previous years. The amount of snow fencing, particularly in Tignes, is increasing. There were also lots of places where snow fencing would have been useful, eg the traverse across to Leisse from the Funicular and above La Fornet.

Is increasing windiness a consequence of climate change in the western Alps I wonder. Puzzled
Is part of the solution bound to be more and more snowfencing ?

Everywhere is open in tignes bar 1 chair.

La Sache has lots of rocks.. and twigs stucking out for that matter. Very Happy

The val glacier has brilliant brilliant snow on piste as Peter S said. Pistes with sun exposure are fantastic, others are a little icy.

Peter S, The run down from La Sache down to Breviers is open but is very ropey, especially for boarders. The blue is simple enough, although very flat, but the red on the other side is steep sheet ice (most of which was done on my ar$e!). I didn't see the Reading team but did see the Italians skiing in leopard skin thongs (could be Spanish I guess, def' not British as bums too tanned!).

After a very busy few days (mainly due to the amount of champagne) i thought a quick update would be in order.

Pistes : Skied around most of Tignes in last few days and generally the pistes are in very good condition although a few stones in busy places. The nursery slopes are awesome and the condition of the 'Jardin de Enfant' has to be skied to be believed wink
Had a quick blast down La Daille, La face & piste L, in Val D, before returning to Tignes and the inevitable Tommusse bumps & the Trolles, all good Blush
Some new pistes have been included so more to explore NehNeh

Off-piste : Who knows, not been there wink

Weather : Great sunshine and very warm generally but a little cloudy today. Forecast for sunshine next couple of days with maybe some snow at the weekend Puzzled
The early season suntan is looking good Cool Cool

Queues : Only on Monday/Tuesday on the nursery slopes.

The pistes are holding up well considering the amount of people about. It's very busy in places and the amount of idiots seems to increase every year.

Quote of the season ' Its my first day' a border with his mates at the top of the Trolles, before falling all the way down Laughing Laughing No doubt he had lots to talk about in the bar last night wink

Looks like some snow for the next few days Blush Blush

It's lying, it's not snowing now. Just overcast and miserable. Sad

Had some on and off, sunday forecast is looking like there might be a fair amount hopefully.

It's just windy as well which is the problem.

Hopefully should get better.

Remeber 1550 is brevieres, look at the 2500 forecast for what you'll be skiing most of the time. Very Happy

Got back yesterday. The on piste snow is great and holding up well due to the cold temperatures, off piste is very tracked out but fun nonetheless. Toofy Grin
The only ice we found was right down at 1550 in Les Boisses and Les Brevieres, and then only small patches. The Sache black run (1800m vertical), The Face in Val, and Le Spot freeride area were the highlights for me.
