 Poster: A snowHead
|
On the Ski Club snow reports, for Val d'Isere the snow report makes for pretty glum reading at the moment. However, when a quick glance at the thumbnail of the webcam is very reassuring, as it shows really good snow cover on a lovely day.
When you click through on the image, the reason becomes clear, it's an image from April 17th last season! Now, I'm pretty sure that this has only appeared in the past days, and can only speculate as to why a picture that at a quick glance makes conditions look pretty good, but is six months out of date, is being shown?

I am off there soon too, but I am hopeful it will improve further.
I suspect you realse the situation isn't quite as dire as the tropical shot above suggests.

halfhand, strange as it may seem, the SCGB does not run their own system of webcams throughout the world's ski resorts. In this case it is a link to the main Valdinet.com link looking at the Face black running into ValD - which will probably be the main link they keep throughout the season. It's www.valdinet.com that's showing the webcam shot from April. (the other webcams seem to be mainly showing raindrops on the lenses)

That webcam for Val d'Isere has been showing or hyperlinked on several sites for month. Nice reminder of how good end-season conditions were last year.

...yes, I posted something on here about conditions in Europe not being good. Maybe that's where they copied it from...

You know it makes sense.

Wear The Fox Hat, if you're quick and copyrite the phrase "best conditions to be found on the upper slopes" you could earn a few bob in royalties!!

Kramer, any day now I'm waiting for the inevitable question to appear on Natives... "Is there any good grass in your resort"
...this year it can be answered legally.
