 Poster: A snowHead
|
I know the snow is poor, I know it's last minute, but I can get away for a few days and even skiing on poor snow will be better than nothing.
Any suggestions for a last minute dash to the Alps?

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

@Mt, Have a look on the weather outlook threads and gauge for yourself. Just to add to @Touchguru, list Val Thorens seems relatively decent at the moment too but I'd expect anywhere that has it OK is going to start to get much more traffic if they haven't already. At least you plan to go and get back before Xmas week. Will be dire at a lot of places if things don't improve quickly.

Nearly done the list of jobs i had to do first, but now i'm about to pull the trigger i'm seriously vexed. We usually have three weeks at this time of year and its generally been excellent, last year excluded. Val d, seems the obvious choice at the moment as i know it so well, but its a hell of a transfer for a few days and poor snow. If i don't go now its going to be march, at best late feb. I looked at obergurgl, but i can't see any midweek flights from the north.
anyone in val or tigne at the moment reckon its worth it?

@Mt, have a look at the snow report threads for those resorts - lots of up to date news.

that's the thing, val looks just acceptable and patchy snow is better than no snow. I've got plenty of old skis that need a run out

@Mt, Skied in Tignes/Val D yesterday (and Sunday and Monday). Lots open but depends what you want really. Not much in the way of off piste. The upper slopes are open and you can get across from Tignes to Val D but only by downloading on Olympique and Solaise Express. Snow up high on the Val D side was in good nick. I enjoyed it!
