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 :-)

Still looking good for much dumpage snowHead Not been pushed back on any of today's runs so it's looking like game on.

I'm off to Les Gets, so fingers crossed for the freezing level not to get too high ! Looking like it might creep up to around the 1500m mark Confused

Can't wait to smell the snow snowHead snowHead snowHead

BernardC,

Enter latitude/longitude for your chosen resort (45.48, 6.91 are coords for Tignes), then continue to next page
Choose 0-180 hour forecast from the Metogram pull down menu
Then enter the password shown on the page, et voila!

Thanks to DGOrf who posted this link earlier in the season.

Another useful link for GFS derived forecasts is http://217.160.75.104/topkarten/fsavneur.html (select "Diagramme" from the leftmost menu bar, then "Europa" from the middle menu bar, then "Genf" and "Ensemble t850" for data from multiple runs of GFS forecasts) This link courtesy of brian.

No, it's going to stop at Moutiers, double back and then dump a double load on Les Arcs.

I like this site below for precipitation models 6-7 days out. Current data looks really good for the week of 12-18 Feb 06. Nice and easy to understand too.

Fingers crossed! They got it wrong for the last big fall of snow back in Januray. (there was actually much more than they had suggested...)

I presume the wink means you're joking?
The freezing level is forecast to hover around the 1500m mark. Plenty high enough, although you might get a bit damp in Bourg.
It'll be like a normal day in Manchester... wink

going to La Thuile myself on Wed night,. Torino on Thursday for some ice hockey then hit the slopes. Man you would not believe the difficulty in getting some accommodation. I finally got a place about 8km from La Thuile in a hostel. oh well looking forward to it now. What are the lower runs in La Thuile like? I'm a bit afraid that there might be too much snow. Are the tree runs good?

GFS forecast for Tarantaise resorts seems to have risen quite dramatically on the last run (up to 80cm over the next week). Fingers crossed!

Diarmuid, Forecast does say Heavy snoew for Wednesday evening and Thusday morning. If the snow is good then the tree runs are excellent, and quite (as in "just on my limits")steep. For me some of the best stuff is in The San Bernado pass area on the border. Lifts are good up there as well. Is the lack of beds due to the Olympics?

Diarmuid, i agree with Frosty the Snowman, the runs in between La Thuile and La Rosiere are vey nice.

For a gentle crusie home i'd recommend the long red back down to La Thuile on the right hand side of piste map (cant remember it's name/number!). Anyway it should really be a blue but it's a nice way to end the day especially if you are tired by then. Also a couple of cafes to stop at on the way down for a drink....

sounds good. I was asking about the tree runs as if the visibility is bad the trees might be a good option.

Well I wanted to combine some sno''action and the olympics on the one (long) weekend so I figured it's easier to stay at the resort and drive down on Thursday. Turin for accom is a no go. A few friends are sleeping in their cars there, and they were looking for a place to stay 4 months ago. A totally of topic remark, but the prices for the car park + bus into Turin is crazy. If you are trying to encourage people not to drive into the city why not charge a nominal amount to do that ? Anyways....

Well Wednesday to Sunday is now looking stonkingly good for The Tarentaise resorts. Very Minimum looks like 0.5m but could easily be double that. The following week looks to be clearing a bit, cool but not freezing. We fly out Sunday and am gutted as I wont be able to go to church and thank him. I would have done so as it is now obvious that he does exist.
