Poster: A snowHead

This link describes the Morzine snow as "velvet". Sounds wonderful but does anyone out there know what it means?

Red Leon, I know this doesn't answer your question but on the alp d huez site the same snow condition is described ( its the same layout for the slope info infact ).
At the bottom of their page you can press the link that says Snow lexique ad it gives you a description of all the info they put on the conditions page .
All info other than VELVET

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If we mean "is it silk", then yes, the snow which falls on Morzine is spun by high-altitude white moths. Unfailingly outstanding snow, as guaranteed by the Morzine tourist office.

Perhaps they're just trying to give the impression that they're 'too classy for Corduroy'?

admin,
But I love corduroy!

People tell me that if you really want to respect an overnight pisteur you ski in white corduroy ski pants on their perfectly-groomed corduroy piste.
Pass it on.

Clearly velvet is recently fallen snow that hasn't been groomed into cords. Obvious really.

David Murdoch, I'll second that - about 3-10 cms of pow on a groomed piste definitely feels like velvet under the feet - ooooohhhhhhhh

Yes, and it would be even more sensual if naked human feet could luxuriate in this experience, like a chamois or tourist office snow reporter (super-human in their appreciation of snow conditions).
