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 :-)

The snow this year A DIFFERENT TAKE
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

well there's been a lot of 'too much' and 'traffic chaos' and 'we're aaaaall dooooomed' - but here's something to mull over.

Valais:

Reasonable fall in late nov and early dec - onto reasonably cold ground but good adhesion. Good base. Nice start.
Big dumps, minor thaws, good adhesion of layers. Building nicely.
Dumpy days rather good up to the thigh powder. Or chest in the case of my twelve year old. Switch him to 144 Gotamas (thanks JP) from Atomic race skis and suddenly he's floating where I am sinking. Huge fun.
Then stupid day of rain. Glazed everything.
Then terrible day of high wind. Pushed loose snow onto the glazed stuff and then glazed anything left. Horrid.
Note to self: there will be a nasty layer of instability in the snow pack from this point on. 2m can fall, it'll all look great, and no slope over 30 deg can be trusted.

Two years ago we did some pits in Les Faverges - lovely adherence right through the pack, and then a disjunction layer about 2cms off the ground. hideous.
