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 :-)

Hi
Been looking at the webcams from La Plagne. Why has the resort moved all the snow off the home runs into Plagne Centre into large mounds? I thought this may be because they want to do ground works but the areas they have cleared I think have been remodelled recently so I'm not sure this is the reason.
Sure there is a logical reason !

I know a lot of resorts break up their pistes prior to the arrival of 'Summer' visitors....

Yes, it doesn't melt so fast in a big heap.

Its not snow farming given the amount of dirt and stone that they have ploughed up.

Any resort that has made significant quatities of artificial snow on ground that is used in summer needs to scrape it off, or at least down to a level that will melt out naturally. All summer roads will also need digging out, many have to do this within days of the lifts stopping in a normal year. Everywhere I have been touring for the last 2 weeks has already done this.
