Poster: A snowHead

Interested to hear thoughts of which resorts in France or Switzerland have suffered the least from the warming and heavy rain this week?

Eh? It's still November, so although there may have been enough to ski a little but in some places, whatever has or has not fallen at this point of the year is pretty much irrelevant for the ski season proper. It's been quite common over the last few years to get some snow in November, sometimes quite a lot, but IME it's all melted away again before Christmas.

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

@Chaletbeauroc, exactly this.
@Elsie80, don't worry, below, say, 2,500m you wouldn't expect lasting snow yet, above 2,500m a good early base is still being established.
We wouldn't want this sort of rain the week before xmas though.
But +/- nothing's been "damaged" that you would firmly expect or need to have right now.
Oh and you can't read anything unusual into it regarding how good the season will be or not or where to go or not.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Chaletbeauroc, spot on. I must admit to getting quite excited about mid-November snow (especially as we tend to go out late November and it’s nice to get a short skin and slide in amongst the DIY), but it’s completely irrelevant in season terms.

Not quite - early season snow that sticks around often leads to persistent avalanche problems throughout the season.
