 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I'm not really up on all this early season snow business, so sorry if I say anything stupid!
I'll be in Les Deux Alpes from 9-16 December, is the snow likely to be any good? I know that you can't predict the future, but what proportion of the runs can I reasonably hope to be open then?
I know there's some snow there at the moment, but to my (untrained) eye it doesn't look like enough to ski on in the lower parts at say, 1650m.
Also, is this snow forecasting site at all reliable?

Thanks in advance!

I doubt if there's enough to skii on lower down, but the glacier should be OK. Threatening more snow at the moment.

mb, 50 of us were ther 3 weeks ago and there was not a flake there apart from the glacier. That said i think having seen the snowfall of late you would be unlucky if all above 2600m was not open. If that is the case there will still be plenty to keep you happy.

mb, Welcome to Snowheads. As achilles, says I file a snow report very regularly, so keep an eye on that. At the moment it's impossible to even hazzard a guess about how much will be open. If the temps fluctuate as predicted it will be snowing at 2,600m off and on for the next couple of weeks, although more likely to be switching between rain and snow at lower levels. Some years the whole area is open in December and some years not. sorry not to be more helpful. One snag is that we can't see above the Cretes from the village and it's too far to walk to have a looksee!
As you may spot from the Snow Reports thread there will be some other Snowheads around when you first get in. Do go on my website for my phone number and give me a bell - we can meet up to say hello. 
If you have any specific questions do feel free to PM me.
