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 big fat 2024/2025 skinny ski thread

I'll kick this off,

Went over the le Bessat in the Loire this morning, the Mont du Pilat is visible from Lyon to the south. Conditions were a bit rock and roll as they have had about 20cm of snow pisted down to 5-10cm using a snowscooter. No classic tracks.

Shouldn't this be "the long, thin cross country thread"?

Lovely clip @davidof, delightful tracks through the forest. Trees looked fantastic at one location.

Change of scene from the Loire / Massif Central to the Bugey / Jura and the superb plateau de Retord. A 20km easy tour this morning, foggy at first but turning to sun later. The Alpine ski area is also open.

shame it is just a bit too low to have reliable snow cover. Currently around 30 - 40cm but it won't resist a change in weather.

A before breakfast ski in the freezing cold on largely icy pistes but nice sunrise and some crust skiing on the fields with a song rework

snow held up remarkably well at 930 meters - after torrential and tropical rain and storm force winds but just 30 meters lower down: green fields.

Can't share any experience with this thread, but have to say those videos do tempt me to give it a try.

@rob@rar, do - it’s a different experience and fun, I’ve enjoyed my trips even if I fall each time.

As most folk know, one of my boys is quite handy on the skinny skis
