 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Guys,
I'm heading back to Meribel this weekend (Thurs-Mon) with a mixed group of intermediates and beginners. Looking at the forecasts it's going to be pretty damn cold - wind chill of -18!

I've been to Meribel every March for the last 4 years and every year I've been perfectly fine skiing in a base layer and softshell jacket, often with the zip half undone. Is this likely to be that year where I wish I had a down mid-layer too, or are those numbers the extremes?
Are we in for a fun weekend of great skiing, or a very cold one with poor visibility?
Thanks[/url]

I would take another layer with you. So you don't have to pay meribel prices for one.

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

The 2 forecasts are in reality not that different the snow-forecast temps are for 3000m while the meteofrance temps are for resort level. They do differ by a few degrees on Thursday meteoFrance suggests -2/-3 feels like -9 while the details from snow-forecast suggest -4/-5 both at resort level. Both are forecasting snow so visibility might not be great. I'd take the extra layer just in case.

Cheers guys. So maybe not quite as extreme as -18, but worth packing a little extra than normal.

I've just looked at various weather reports for the coming few days and cannot believe how much they vary.
