 Poster: A snowHead
|
We had an email from the guy who keeps an eye on our chalet whilst we are not in Les Gets, saying that there was too much snow on the roof of the chalet and he needed to get up there and clear some of it off.
That hasn't happened for awhile....

Lou, re Oinky, I have it on good authority, Mrs Llew (MRCVS), that it is easy to tell the difference between boy and girl pigs and Oinky doesn't have the required obvious organs, therefore a girl pig 
Our 8 year old is a bit disappointed she's not seen her yet.
We left her some left overs.
Another great day.
Loads of snow, varied visibility.
I've added a few more pics.

no worries with pics.
Yes agreed that its not so easy to tell from photos.
If we see her again will try for a video.
I agree, Marmotte is a great run and luckily it was fairly sunny at the time.
I have taken a few videos of us lot skiing, but not sure if it will really be that interesting for other people 
I can always add he smaller ones onto the same shared area.

Glad you're enjoying yourselves geetee.
Hope that geeteejr is behaving herself and not wearing out her parents too much with her refusal to stop skiing so that mummy and daddy can take a rest!

Just to report in, conditions in the Portes du Soleil are superb at the moment! We had a HUGE dump on Tuesday and Chatel has now got 175 cm at the bottom / 260 cm at the top.
The sun is out today and all is good! I will upload some photos as soon as I get 5 mins.

Hi rmanin, and welcome to 
What sort of advice are you after? Places to ski? Start at Avoriaz at the top of the Prodains cablecar, and you can't go wrong from there!!!

Cracking snaps, Llew! Still looks excellent, if a bit bumpier than when I was there two weekends back, especially the infamous Bouquetin. Hope you had a great trip... and left some for me

What's going down in PdS? I saw various timid forecasts of a couple of cm but I just heard from one of our chalet hosts in LG who's worried about a drive he has to make to Switzerland cos the roads haven't been cleared. Another dump?

It's beeing snowing all day in Morzine.....about another 10-15cm all over town. More forecast for tonight and a bit maybe tomorrow. Foreacasts seem to be a little vague and they are under estimating the amount we are getting each time. Town has emptied of Brits and filled up with French. Slopes were apparently quiet today. I went for a walk with the kids in the snow.

The snow depths now seem to be surpassing 1999, take a look at the picture I have posted on http://www.chaletgeorge.com of the carport that collapsed and crushed 3 Audi's yesterday!

Is anyone a SCGB member? I see they have snow records going back 15 years on their web site. The current snow levels are certainly as good as I remember but when you're only out for 1-2 weeks a year memory is rather selective.

What were the snow levels at this time last year? I seem to recall something like 130cm/55cm?
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
FastEddie, SCGB web site says 148/58cm (in Les Gets) but as noted above, you can't go beyond last season without membership.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
SCGB shows that in years 1998/1999 - so in the weeks of February 1999 the depths were:
170/86, 242/158, 250/160 and 270/162
no coincidence that that was the year that we first visited and decided to buy a bit of land and build there - we probably thought it was always like that!

The Les Gets website is saying 215/130 at the moment, maybe I got overexited with my comment above! But then again I was in the Valley de la Manche - not Les Gets!

Hi there all. I'm new to snowheads. Been reading the forums for quite a while but thought I would take the plunge so please be gentle.
I'm off out to Morzine on March 6th......... really can't wait. I've been donig the usual on the run up to my ski trips, i.e. checking the weather forecast, web cams etc. Looks like Morzine has been having some amazing weather so far but I've noticed the temperatures are starting to get quite mild. How is this going to affect the snow while we are there especially around the village. I've only ever really skied at higher level resorts before i.e. Tignes, Les deux Alpes.
Thanks in advance.

First time poster as well, i'm heading over to morzine/le gets this weekend and thanks to all on the forums for the advice. I'll try pop on the forum near the end of my week to give everyone heading over around march the 6th an idea of the conditions.

For my last cheeky weekend away, I called mrsph at lunch time and waved at her and the kids on the Yeti webcam to let them know I was alive with all limbs in tact! Just remember to say cheese.
