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 :-)

Very warm today and sunny - feel as though I got sunstroke! Forgot camera (sorry), but glacier snow magnificent, all the way down to Cretes good. Valentin would have been OK without the morons, and the nursery slopes are fine too.

debbi, glad you had a good time. I can't seem to see anything other than the thumbnail though. Very Happy

debbi, Certainly looks as though you found some of the really good skiing/riding that so many seem to miss! Great photos.

Today is sunny and warm again, and I'm sorry to say I much prefer it. Being able to go out without 7-10 layers on, having toes after 2 lessons, and so on - infinitely preferable to -20 with wind chill! Madeye-Smiley Madeye-Smiley I'm afraid I took the camera but forgot to take any pix. Will try harder tomorrow, when i should finally be meeting Argenterre after about 18 months of trying! Very Happy

snow on both nursery slopes and Cretes fine BTW.

Being part of 'Debbi's crew last week, would like to reitirate what a cool week it was (and she did a reasonable job of organising the hol as well I suppose Cool ). We had all weather types -heavy snow, (very) strong winds - enough to keep you stationary on the slopes, total white out/fog, bad low light, and best of all a few days of glorious blue skies! And we stayed out in them all.

Word to the wise, that Deb and I only found on the last day, but on the green road run that goes from the janri mid point to the station further down (can't remember its name), kick a sharper right where the green run bends to the right - a steep run, but the powder is unbelievable! Nothing better than gliding in 40cm of fresh virgin powder watching you mates falling over in the churned up stuff below you Very Happy

I'm envious of anyone going to LDA!

Kris that was the run down from the Diable / Top of Cretes that led to a gully with 2 chair lifts
So, if i read the piste map right, it was under the Thuits chair lift (run blue 31)

Blue sky here, warm and not a sniff of a clowd to be seen, but the snow is holding up, except that dodgy red/black back to town that did not do my new board anygood. First time I have ever tried mud boarding!

Leis, No chance - just been having dinner with Rayscoops and Argenterre - leading me astray. Also Rayscoops' friend who I think is a new convert and will join when back in the UK! Very Happy Very Happy

It was warm and sunny again today. Very pleasant. It's not warm enough for the snow to get icy, although some of the patches that were already there are poking up a little on the very low runs (combe du thuit). Top of Thuit (red) was really nice snow, and blue bottom was very nice for the most part. Cretes good as usual as were the nursery slopes this morning. No ice, not even hardpack and the low pressure cannons were still working at 09.30. Very Happy Very Happy A couple of high pressure ones were working but were spitting out ice! I did remember to take a photo, at the last minute coming down the chairlift, so looking across the lower slopes from the village (Mont de Lans) end of town. Here it is!


BE WARNED - THERE IS NO SNOW!! Shocked Shocked Shocked

another (this is getting boring), pleasant, sunny day today. It did seem a little colder though, and there was quite a chill in the air at around 17.00. It's been below freezing every morning since turning "warm", and although we're into + temps in the sun I don't think the shade temp is getting above freezing at all at the mo. I have 2 pix for your delectation today. Firstly the welcome sight of snow cannons working at around 10.00 this morning, and secondly a pretty one of the top (red) part of the thuit. We skied it with really nice snow and almost no-one ever goes there except in powder! Shocked

Agenterre, that pic does flatten it considerably. It is actually 3x steeper than it looks, but I like the sun effects!

It was a really warm day today. The first day when the snow got a little slushy on the lower slopes. I ws down here all the time, so I didn't bother to take a photo, cos I didn't think it would be very interesting! Keep fingers crossed for Tuesday. Very Happy
