Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

Last week in April break - Tignes

 Poster: A snowHead

We are looking at getting in one final ski week before end of season - so the last week of April.

I know this is a loaded question but is there "normally" enough snow to at least get some skiing in, in Tignes?

Normally loads of snow & the majority of lifts open.

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

As above - just watch the transport details - there are very few buses left running from the airports - so it will be a self drive from UK, hire car or private transfer.

Yip - Val planning to shut 3 May -Tigns on the 10th - with all the new snow today and this week shouldn't be a snag (now I've said it!!). Just watch out for crazy telemarkers 1-3 May - its 'Blackshoes' time again. Shocked Shocked

We've skied last week in April/Mayday weekend in Espace Killy every year since 2008. Never been disappointed. For example, here's early May 2014 Very Happy - which was typical of our previous late season visits - ie winter snow at altitude and nice soft/spring snow lower down:





Meanwhile, at 1800m - still perfectly skiable to Tignes Les Boisses Smile - runs to La Daille/Val D will typically be like this too. Good fun:

I went a few years ago at that time, and feared the worst when driving through Bourg St Maurice it was 27 degrees C.

But my fears were unfounded. Around 95% of the whole Espace Killy was open, and while it was a bit boiler plate first thing, and a bit slushy in some places towards the end of the day, there was a sweet spot of 4-5 hours when it was great.

I think we'll pick Tignes as a preference if we can get somewhere Smile
