@Ed_sec, Mine are all hosted on Flickr. Looking at the others they are also hosted elsewhere, not on Snowheads. More flexibility I guess.

Thanks. Admin's thing worked but the pic didn't come out where I expected. Not a very informative pic so not vital this time. Looks like you've got a bit more snow where you are too, Grrr.

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

@Weathercam,
You'd have thought that could be filed under "no poo-poo Sherlock" wouldn't you?

@Claude_B Looks like it. Even friends up in St. Jean D'Arves seem to have a fair bit more. I'll head south next time!

| @davidof, indeed a lovely photo - would be interested in some of exposure details if you have them - did you under-expose much? curious as to the colour - it looks quite yellow on my laptop - only seen that in Africa, not europe. |
You are going way beyond any knowledge I have of photography. I have tried to be interested in the subject but anything involving numbers sends me to sleep. I suspect the yellow is all the sulphur in the Grenoble winter atmosphere. I put my smartphone on HDR to capture the colours and it does its magic.

Crans Montana today. Found a couple of patches of powder on the way down, but it was just great to be in the mountains again

So yesterday on FaceBook ESF Chantermerle https://www.facebook.com/esf.chantemerle/ posted a series of photos of them making a ski tour skinning track.
Traçage d’un nouvel itinéraire de ski de randonnée par l’ Esf Serre-chevalier Chantemerle - Chantemerle - Col du Prorel dans la forêt de mélèzes avec 1200 m de dénivelé.
Then there was a Press Release sent out by Serre Che Tourist Office yesterday,
Pour faire rimer s'amuser avec sécurité, les professionnels de la montagne seront là pour vous accompagner et vous encadrer dans la découverte des activités qui vous font rêver : ski de randonnée, sorties en raquettes, snowkite, ski nordique, ski joering... Accompagné d'un guide ou d'un moniteur, c'est l'occasion rêvée de prendre le temps d'apprendre les bonnes bases et les règles de sécurité pour glisser en toute sérénité !
La descente magique sur les pentes vierges ne pourra se faire qu'après une belle montée en peau de phoques dans la forêt. Les guides sont disponibles pour accompagner les néophytes et les former aux bases de la pratique ainsi qu'aux règles de sécurité indispensables avant de partir en montagne. L'accès aux pistes du domaine skiable est interdit.
So OH asked the Press Office again what the situation is/was .
Their reply below.
Indeed, access to the slopes is prohibited, so no one can ski or ski tour on the ski area at all.
So reading between the lines would seem that the Tourist Office are unaware of this move by the ESF that you can only ski tour in the domain with an instructor or guide, and if you re-read it, then you also need an instructor for other activities as well

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I read it as that you can tour in the forest, but not on the pistes.

@ecureuil, these are skin tracks that they are preparing in the forest (in between the pistes), similar to others that exist and then you ski down the pistes.
There's no way they'll have people skiing down in the forest, would be carnage

You know it makes sense.
|
They're being very sensible here. 2 touring routes, one on each side of town with a pisted run to descend if preferred. Plenty of walking and snowshoeing tracks too.

I really hope they're not going to run the lifts though. They have this week, for "ski clubs". It would be very insensitive and wee wee people off, it has me already

Saw a lot of ski tourers walking back from the bottom of the Aravet lift this lunchtime, not a guide or instructor in sight.....

Saw a few people touring at St. Sorlin d'Arves Yesterday. Some were experienced and doing classic nearby routes like col de la croix de fer. Others had clearly hired the kit and were going up and down the pistes. No instructors or guides except one teaching some kids on piste.
