 Poster: A snowHead
|
Managed to meet up with a few Snowheads (on a pre bash stint) for absolutely amazing conditions. On piste and off, we were treated to dark blue skies and powder from Saturday to Monday. After Saturday, the resort became deserted and you could often still put new tracks into virgin corduroy until well into the afternoon.
Off piste, we left vast areas of still untracked powder, when we left to come home last night (Monday 28th). Many lift served areas were tracked out, but many were barely touched. With many lifts still to open, more will become available as each lifts fires up.
No snow in the resort, so you need to download at the end of the day, but this is no concern when compared to the perfect conditions everywhere above 2100m.
If these 3 days had been the only days you got in a one week trip, you would have thought it was a great trip. Amazing.

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

Great pics @bar shaker,
You've whetted my appetite for our family trip in February.
Have they removed the rope tow at the top of the Solaise now?

Look good, was the OK not skiable ? Or is it closed due to the race?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@davidof, closed due to the race. They are trucking snow in to get it skiable to the bottom.
@bar shaker, great to meet up and also see your apartment

@holidayloverxx, lovely to meet up with you, Toni, Sarah, Gary and Jerry. As I sit here at my desk, I'm very jealous that right now you are probably relaxing in the Rosee Blanche, after a day tearing around deserted slopes  Hope the rest of the trip is as good!!
@franga, I didn't see them but would have thought they have been replaced by the new magic carpets in the tubes.
@davidof, OK Orange was a field of almost untracked powder for the first 25%. However doing this section would have required you to go onto the race course and that would have risked the wrath of the many teams of men putting in the course safety structures and fencing... so we thought better of it and downloaded from the FD.
