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 :-)

@squawker, enjoy Hemsedal. Some fresh snow yesteday. Looks v quiet on the webcams. Last year, they opened for a few extra weekends, IIRC - a lot of snow, last year mind. But they've shut the run back to town. Bah!

Thanks for that dobby. As noted, we'll be training mostly (son will be training and I'll be helping/hanging about/running off to ski whatever's open). Chances are we'll be skiers left of the double t-bar at the top of the 8-pack ("fjellheisen") or on Tinden if conditions are good and the resort gives us the nod. Probably yes to free-skiing drills but no to gates.

The May 1st weekend was glorious last year - fingers crossed.

Oh, and it won't be quiet at the bottom of the 8-pack on Friday and Saturday - its the big end-of-season party with live music and people spewing their guts up by 3 p.m. Will be quite nice to avoid all that really.

It is after a last wee sneaky trip Glencoe today Very Happy. Not my best ski effort by a long way but good fun. The "run" back to the access chair is fast becoming a "walk" but who cares for a late season slide?!

@geoffers, how much fresh is there? Last Saturday was ok but not great, so I'm wondering if it's worth making the trek up from IBK this weekend...

Last day, 58th, was Saturday. I'm all skied out for the moment. Will move onto other things. I will be out in L2A the 2nd half of August but doubt I'll ski. Ive absolutely no interest in skiing indoors. Early start for me in December for next winter I think Happy


I spoke too soon Happy I'm out in L2A next month apartment shopping and the lifts open that week for the summer Happy I still wouldn't bother myself but my daughter will be with me and she hasn't skied for 2 years (A levels then uni) so it will be nice to have a morning with her, there should be a fair bit open that early. I wont tell her lifts open at 7.15 yet Shocked Will try to persuade her to renew her BASI L1 too which runs out in the summer, it cost me enough Happy

@Claude B, can't she just do a 1 day refresher to keep the L1?

@kitenski, She can but tbh she's not really interested, she's never used it. Would have to do a 2 day 1st aid again too.

@Claude B, I think *but check with BASI* that she could do the refresher to keep her L1 license, but when the first aid lapses she becomes a member , but hasn't lost the L1 status??

That happened to me as I didn't renew first aid in time but I'm pretty sure it didn't invalidate my L2.

Nope!! My season is still going on!! First week in May and still skiing, cannot be bad. If the snow comes high up again with the rain that is forecasted I shall ski again next weekend!

For anyone interested, I just posted the photos of my day out at Glacier 3000 in Switzerland. Really nice to be able to ski 8750m vertical in one day by just using a cable car. The same as four trips in one day down the 'North Face of the Bellecote' for those that know Les Arcs and la Plagne off piste areas. Hope you enjoy the photos. This is a great place for freeriding. Well worth the effort to visit the area. Let me know if anyone wants to take a trip next season. If the weather and snow conditions are OK you can ski new routes everyday for a week without even hiking.

@snowcrazy, I've had 3 weeks in paradiski over the past couple of years and really like it for the variety of pistes, they still have mogul runs as well as carve your heart out motorways but I have had little chance to explore the off piste. Not made any plans for next season but will look you up if I'm in the area.
Motor bike season has just started!

Just noticed we had both posted about being in Hemsedal for the 1 May weekend but neither of us had noticed!

It was my first time in Hemsedal (and Norway for that matter) and I thought it was a brilliant resort - couldn't have had better conditions for the Saturday and Sunday that we were there. Couldn't believe the conditions were still that great for so late in the season!

Hope you had a good weekend too!

Definitely over now, unfortunately.
My last day of the season was spent crusing around the off piste on the Zugspitze with my mate Sascha. We went up hoping to find 30cm of fresh pow, but only came across 10cm (max), which during the course of the day turned into chewed up crud and slush. Wonderful all the same. Wonderful scenery and a great day.
