 Poster: A snowHead
|
...do we venture up the Gds Montets to see if it's precipitating solids up there?
Forecast for the day being for the snowline to fall from 2000 to 1600 whihc would make it bearable. I'm not sure I do skiing in the rain any more...
Had a most entertaining and beautifully sunny afternoon playing in the crud under the Balme chair though so not all bad.
General snow conditions and quantity are excellent though, so lucky days if it's sunny, cold, drops a wee dump all of a sudden could be mighty fine.

David Murdoch,
The choice is easy....freezing level 1600 means the GM will have fresh snow and you'll love that. everywhere else will offer less inspiring conditions anyway...... or check out the Italain side....or, and it gets my vote every time.... go up the midi and do Envers...!!!

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

JT, de minimus I reckon the GMs need to be checked out. The biggest challenge of the moment is motivating Sophie & the outlaws! Progress reports will follow...

Cloudy in Verbier with a few clear spells. What a difference 30 miles (and some quite big hills!) makes. We're due the wet stuff this pm, but turning to white stuff down to 1500m overnight.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

DM, sounds like a late start and time for the one run....and if thats the case, do Envers although you need to know the route a bit....should be ok in traffic

Just down. Borrowed some B3s which were surprisingly effective in all conditions. Had a nice lunch and sun broke out for the top section from top of GMs (nice powder) until just above Lognan when a huge black cloud arrived with large precipitation. Snow above 2000 or, rain in quantity below.
Well worth the little effort although the DWR of my jacket and pants needs to be redone!
JT, we don't know Envers well enough to attempt without someone who does, but fun was had anyway. (Sophie BTW went luging with some family friends & their kids...)

PG,
Sound good news for skiers. My friend in Chatel, 1st time skiing, will be pleased he might get to see a white-ish village
