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 :-)

Of course i have been out. Great snow but variable viz. The best skiing was lower down in the trees where definition was a little better. It cleared up about 6.00pm and you could see the mountain tops but it has just closed in again and is snowing lightly Very Happy

Looks like more snow over the weekend, hopefully not too much as i would like to go to Val D and watch the World cup racing Blush

I'm driving from Lyon to Tignes on Sunday at around 10am if anyone needs a lift.

Could really do with some accommodation too if anyone has a bed / sofa / floorspace they'd be willing to rent out for a few days to a week ! wink Or any ideas other than the hostel?

wohoooooo snow in only3 days!!!!

We're off to Tignes on Sunday! Yippee!! snowHead So could I book lots of snow for the weekend & blue skies & sunshine to start on Monday for six days, please? Ta...

If you see us around (we're staying in Chalet les Arolles in Le Lac, btw) do say hi Very Happy I'm struggling to find a decent photo of us both. This seems to be about the best, but we should have rather more colourful hair Twisted Evil Green streaks for me & red for peterm, so we should be fairly easy to spot! snowHead

Oh, & I'm not sure where the Alpaka is, either - directions, anyone?

Fantastic day in Tignes today, snow last night (and for the previous few days) and sunshine all day. Wonderful day skiing with jonm, vetski, holidayloverxx, maggi, eeyore and rednose. Another group of snowHead went off on an offpiste expedition for the day. If we've any energy left a beers could be sunk tonight.

I have just been to the pattesserie and had to plough my way out of our apartment building with snow over my waist Laughing Laughing Managed the trip without tranceiver but had to use offpiste techniques wink

But this is Tignes not the UK and the patesserie/supermarket is open the local kids are catching the bus to school and they are even emptying the dustbins. It must be bad though as the busses have got snowchains on rolling eyes

It is still snowing and more is forecast all day Very Happy Will be a day for an extra cup of Tea & a late start as the pisteures try and make everything safe

Seriously i don't think much will open this morning as the avalanche risk must be very close to 5.

Cor what a lot of snow!! The forecast says snow until Wednesday and then the sun will come out a bit. http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/snow_forecast_7.asp?resortID=38

Had a great afternoon's skiing yesterday despite the iffy visibility and a tad windy in places. It will be fantastic out there when the weather brightens up a bit later on in the week. Dinner last night was absolutely fantastic. Roast Lamb with all the trimmings and then Bread and Butter Pudding for dessert. Very Happy Very Happy Less than a week now and it will be time for me to go home. Sad Now I have been here for over 2 weeks I could easily stay longer if it was feasible.

There are some Snowheads in this chalet. There is Kelskii, Elderstatesman and his 3 friends, docsquid and her husband and also some other Snowheads in the chalet next door to us too so nice to meet them also. Very Happy

Still snowing, lifts closed... Wow,so much snow! Sitting in the Alpaka waiting for something to open (just the bunny lifts, we were told, but better than nothing). Just walking here from the chalet was an adventure! When you see someone on a skidoo stuck in a snowdrift, you know things are a bit unusual...

Tell me how & I'll try later in the week.

Sat in Jam Bar looking at Millonex nursert drag - Marcus has just done it - 45 mins queue. Shocked Sun coming out. Tomorrow should be something special when they can open the mountain! snowHead

Last night it was a fight to get through the snow into the Alpaka - I pity those who are spending today clearing sunterraces/bar entrances/chalet doorways.
