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 :-)

So for the weekend crew we'll make the meeting point the montreux bar. Come through arrivals and turn right and go along a few hundred metres and there's the bar. We can grab a beer or two and watch the world go buy. When it gets nearer the witching hour we can send out a runner to the official meeting point to play find the mountain sun guy

I will have some skis with me and handily a blue inside out hoody.

Kent, Nickh I think we are on the same flight so please drop me a pm so we can start the après in LHR. Based on the forecast Thursday could be a slow start so no harm in going hard early

@KenX, oops hadn't seen your post on skis, generally quite good but we have a big group of good skiers so may be a bit of a bun fight for the exact length in what you want...

@bertie bassett, I recon the forecast will change by the weekend. Never accurate this far out this time of year.... some freshies would be good though Toofy Grin

I've emailed everyone who is on the Pre-Season Tune-Up to let them know about the Montreux Bar (thanks for the suggestion @bertie bassett). Scott and I are driving out so we'll see you in Tignes.

@bertie bassett, Just note that there are now two (!!?) "Montreux" bars ... looked like they'd split the bar section off from the restaurant so they're literally next door to each other but you could have some confused folks.

You have the Jazz Cafe which is sort of most obvious as you approach from the main arrivals area and "Funky Claude's Lounge" which is behind it, but if you approach from the post office or the charter terminal that's the one you'll see first.

Possibly not as confusing as I'm suggesting, but I guess you want to be clear. Smile

Raining heavier now at 1800m, with snow line around 2200m I'd guess. Should be improving conditions on the glacier.

Looking fab, and I guess having the 1st day off may have been more than repaid by skiing fresh today rather than glacier ice!

Just a few weeks now...

Was unexpectedly awesome! Short delay for the funicular to open (about 30 minutes) and we were initially told that everything except the cablecar would be open, but when we got up there even the cablecar was running. Very little wind, moderate visibility, and about 20cm of quite heavy fresh snow. Patches of glacier ice showing through on Champagny piste and the stades at Champagny and 35, but that just added a little spice to the great variable snow we skied all day. It's very quiet here, probably as quiet as I've ever seen it. No queues anywhere and plenty of terrain available as so few lanes are being used. Beasted my group a little, but they rose to the challenge which was very rewarding Happy

Forecast for the rest of the week looks reasonably calm, so all should be good!

I think that's what everyone agreed - after the down day yesterday, today more than made up for it.
