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 :-)

Although not a great shot I quite like this one:



early March Saturday in the Chartreuse, the road we wanted to take was blocked by snow so Luke and I chatted about where we could go, a popular local couloir? We hummed and hawed about the avy risk but decided it would probably be okay. If you look over my shoulder you can just see the shadow of a small slab. It snowed 40cm during the day and I posted a warning about the risk to a couple of Internet sites that evening. Next day there was someone killed nearby and skiers in this couloir triggered an avalanche and lost some of their gear.

This was superb, 20cm of snow, 1st of June and this shot of a sputnik:



again this next one is not a great shot but it brings back some memories, we climbed 2000m on perfect corn snow in mid-February only to reach this couloir which was completely unskiable, we didn't have time to retrace our tracks so nothing else for it but 150 meters climb down to a point where we could ski



My neighbour Isabelle took the risk to lead on this very expose pitch

looks like that might have been tricky snow, or is that just wimpy me?

The snow wasn't too bad - kind of wind blown breakable crust with powder but I would guess most people could ski it. There were lots of rocks to avoid not far from the surface. The worst thing early season is to fall for some reason then hit your head on a rock, it leaves a lot of blood on the snow Shocked . Annie had extraordinary red hair for the winter season but seems to have gone blonde for the summer.

This is a double cheat because (1) it was the previous season and (2) Cedric took the photos. But I like them, so there NehNeh



Zeb leading us again - going right under the rock leads to the bowl in photo 2 where I think all the tracks are ours (we had been joined by some visiting guides for the morning who wanted to see the area). And as you can see from photo 1, that was just the start. There were only 5 other tracks in the valley. - It was 12 days after the last snow, so though high and north facing some of the snow was tricky.

Take the URL you've got and turn it into an image link by adding [img] tags to it.
Code:

Heli Skiing this year at Stewart, Canada (by the Alaskan border and the sea).
Unfortunately, although there was loads of snow there had also been wind, so there was a lot of breakable crust about.
However a great experience (but hugely expensive!!!)
Here are my 2 favourite pics:
