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 :-)

Because I had my camera with me I put this video report together showing conditions on the access road to Andorra from Toulouse and at the 7 Laux ski area

Chains or snow tires were necessary to reach the 7 Laux this morning.

Free lifts at Courchevel attracted the punters with big queues

There was a good crowd at Lans en Vercors today too, but no excessive queues I'm glad to say.

Digging out railway tracks by hand can't be fun! Looking forward to getting back to the Alps next week Happy

I know this as bit off-the-wall but what is the closing date for 7 Laux?

Skiinfo.fr suggests 30 March which seems early.

Probably a bit. They had snow until mid-May this year. However they close much earlier nowadays. The director said that as soon as the number of lift pass sales falls below 200 / day for a number of days they shut. That has improved their profitability. After the Winter holidays the French don't ski much.

Still better than Chamonix where you can imagine the conversation in Paris this week

Boss, Boss we've got a meter of snow on the Brevent and at Grands, can we open a lift?
What, so season workers can get in some early turns? they've already bought their passes, feck 'em!

A case of free not really being that free!. My son pointed out that the petrol and tolls was more than the 25 euros we paid to ski from 9-2pm at the 7 laux.
