 Poster: A snowHead
|
I know we are a good couple of months away from opening days etc but i happened to be looking at some reasonably detailed info on the past few seasons and it struck me than in the last few there was snow already at about 2000m, even if it subsequently melted in the following days.
I'm not concerned, more excited about hopping onto a couple of sites to see the first white stuff

There have been a few falls of snow already (there was some fresh at the end of August, at altitude, I think). Nothing lasts at this time of year because temperatures will soon rise even if there's a cold snap for a few days.
This was Les Arcs just a few days ago, snowline down to about 2200m I'd guess.

rob@rar Any chance you could edit the picture link to make it fit the page better, 50% should do it like this:

FenlandSkier, sorry about that. I've got a large monitor and didn't realise the photo was so big.

It doesn;t really help that m,uch as you;re still downloading a massive image, then showing it at a reduced size. where possible you should link to a smaller image, most of the image hosting websites will serve copies of images at different sizes

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

desperate as we all are to read the runes, I wonder whether there is any correlation between exciting-looking snowfalls in October and long-term snow depths for the subsequent season. I suspect not but it would be interesting to know.

pam w, Don't think so, but it does seem to have snowed a bit at altitude, snow showing constantly on La Muzelle on the LDA webcam down to about 3000 or maybe a bit lower.
Michelle, Yes, but I don't think skinutter, was around then.

Michelle, we know it's pointless, but we can't help ourselves.

If I had a choice between mid October and mid November snow I would take the latter. It doesn't look as if it will snow much below 3000 m before the 28th anyway.
