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 :-)

Swatch SnowPass Watches
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Are they any good, universally accepted and how do they get programmed?

Further, can the watch AND your electronic pass be used, or is it one or the another. In effect would you not be receiving 2 passes if your watch was programmed and you had an electronic pass also?

Well some resorts e.g Jungfrau region still seem to accept the snowpass watches, see http://shop.jungfrau.ch/en/skipass?___from_store=de

I got my swatch skipass watch many years ago when they first came out, and for a couple of years it was useful as you could use then in some resorts which had installed the readers but hadn't by then got around to making their standard skipasses remote readable. Since the almost universal adoption of remote reading skipasses I don't bother using the swatch, but the last time I did (in Wengen) you just had to mention at the ticket office that you wanted your lift pass programming onto your swatch which you handed over to the cashier for programming (instead of the standard skipass card) and they also issued you with a receipt card which you had to show when using the included mountain trains.
