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 :-)

France: Tignes 2011/2012 snow report

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Flying out next weekend for a dads and lads trip in a self catered apartment in Tignes. Watching all reports with slight nervousness, but at least the v cold temperatures earlier in the month has preserved the snow well. Just hope there's still some decent amounts left for us lot once all the kids have gone back to school!

Snow is still pretty good - pistes are in good condition, although many are getting very hard, and the steep sections are mogulled. Still some nice snow off piste although of course it's all heavily tracked - think you'll need skins, luck, or really know where you are going to find fresh stuff. Much warmer the last couple of days, and brilliant sunshine all day, so will be nice for families or sitting outside with a beer. Quite crowded this week and probably next with Parisian school holidays, but not unbearable, particularly if you avoid the resorts and link lifts at lunchtime. Lots of boarders too - can't they ban them from the Sache? Very Happy

A beautifull stunning morning in Tignes with clear blue sky and a few wispy clouds Very Happy A slight dusting of snow overnight, 1-2 cm, and colder temperatures will no doubt give great skiing today.

The majority of French & British holidays have now ended so the resort should be a little quieter rolling eyes We have had our usual influx of mono skiers, the fasionable jeans and gaiter brigade and blue run heroes who can go fast in a straight line but have no idea how to turn or stop rolling eyes

A little snow is forecast over the next few days.

Definitely you will on the ground. Whether there will be any falling is a bit harder to predict.

I'm going that week so there will be loads of snow. I went the same time last April (much worse than this year snow wise) and most of the ski area was open plus the link to Val.

How's the road up to Les Brev and Le Lac at the mo? And (I realise you can't see into the future), what's it likely to be like as the week progresses, with a bit more snow on the way?...

We're heading up on Saturday, and after an entire Winter of getting away without needing snow chains I can't be bothered learning how to fit them at the end of bloody March!

I take it that rockfall has been cleared by now has it?

I managed to be in the right place at the right time yesterday. I was at the top of the glacier in bright sunshine whilst down below was low cloud and snow and later i was lower down whilst the top of the glacier was covered in cloud Very Happy

The skiing was excellent with knee deep powder on the glacier and 5 - 10 cm of fresh snow lower down. Endless fresh tracks Very Happy Very Happy and a very quiet day.

We have had a slight dusting of new snow overnight and currently we have clear blue skies and warmish temperatures Very Happy

Great spring snow to be had if you get your timing right currently:









The few pistes we took yesterday seemed relatively quiet (apart from the ESF instructor who nearly took me out up on the Motte), and better overnight refreezes + cool breezes seem to be keeping the snow in good nick through til late afternoon.

Has winter returned Puzzled
It is cold, windy & snowy this morning Very Happy It was snowing quite hard last night/evening and it looks like lots of new powder 'on the upper slopes' Blush

The slopes are in pretty good nick for the time of year and whilst we do get some slush in the afternoons there seems to be a very hard layer about 50 cm down which makes for good skiing.

So when is it going to stop snowing Puzzled
The last week has been amazing with lots & lots of snow and the odd sunny patch Very Happy If this was December everyone would be so excited for the coming season but as it is nearly mid April most tour companies have finished and their planes/staff are headed for sunnier destinations. There are still some tour companies operating, (Mark Warner,Ski Olympic, Mountainsun) and Snoworks & SCGB are still running courses so if you fancy some of the best skiing of the season book soon Very Happy The resort is very quiet.

The forecast for the coming week is more snow and the occasional sunny day Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy I think the POWDER skis are going to be getting a lot of action Very Happy Very Happy

It is still snowing Very Happy and forecast to continue throughout most of the week Very Happy where is that link to Groundhog day Puzzled

I am hearing about some great deals at the moment, check out Mark Warner & Ski Olympic web sites. £199 full board in some chalets, one operator offering free accomodation if you book their transfer & Tignes offering free accomodation if you buy 4 lift passes!! The snow is well worth a late season visit.
