Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi guys,
I am off to Samoens first week of January. There doesn't look like there is too much snow at present or due in the next couple of weeks. Any suggestions with skiing around that area that will be open??
Thanks

@Whitegold, you are in the GM?
Skied around Flaine today. Departed Vercland on ancient bubble at 10:45.
As ever, modern snow management impresses. All very crunchy at 11:00 and southerly facing soft by 14:00 but really...
A Very Nice Day To Start The Season
Clearly, anything below around 1,600m non-existent.
Above 2,100 ish? Really nice piste snow.
In between a little sketchy but seen a lot worse.
But my word, how warm? Like mid-April.
Must mention, the renovated (for last season?) restaurant at the bottom of the Vercland lift is rather nice and has Mont Blanc Rousse on draught.
P.S. For those nervous and arriving this or next week, all of the group today have/do ski really rather a lot, some instructors, and are really fussy.

We are staying in Saemons so ideally there, were there snow cannons out and what is the prediction of them for the xmas and new year periods out there?

@surreyskier, no snow is forecast and not very cold temps so the cannons I suspect will run when they can but I would expect they're making "concrete".
I (!) think the snow will last Xmas and New Year more or less as it is. It won't get any better, but it's not bad.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You'll need to Register first of course.

He's only recently reappeared after years of absence,@Pamski, maybe he's dematerialized for another few years.

@pam w, I didn't notice his recent absence, I doubt I'll miss the next.
