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 :-)

Festive greetings everyone..... I think I've flown over every ski resort, area or field in the world, but sadly not touched down in that many, however I greatly enjoyed the morning I spent skiing at Zell am Ziller (as recommended by the Abuse Zone Inaugural Tour of 2002).

North eastern spain??....Los Caracoles......?? Where is it??? Puzzled Puzzled Puzzled Puzzled


With suficient snow (in quality and quantity) Puigmal in the Pyrenees, has some nice off-piste spots... In the highest part between 2700. and 2100 there is a nice north side off piste bowl. Laughing

Les Contamines..I have to agree, April '04 dumped 1metre of snow and then got sunburn playing in the fresh white stuff, empty slopes, forgot what the word queue meant, perplexed why Total Ski dropped it!


Would agree re Les Contamines - no queues, great snow (gets swept off Mont Blanc) and reasonable prices.

We went 2 years on the run with Total Ski staying in Chalet Oncle Henri - I believe they dropped Les Contamines as they couldn't agree lease terms on the two Chalets they had there.

Ken Lingwood,

Fortress HAS reopened, under new management. It closed down in the fallout of Charlie Locke's problems servicing his debt after RCR underwent a massive expansion. It's now operated by a company called the Banff Rail Company. Always renowned as a retro resort with a great reputation for powder. I don't know how its faring since the reopening.

Nakiska provided me with the deepest powder day I've ever had, anout 5 years ago.

Other hidden (and not-so-hidden) gems in Canada include Castle Mountain AB (another powder destination) and Red Mountain BC (trees).

Well I'm off to Baqueira-Beret, (Pyrenees, Spain) at end of Jan. Been meaning to go there for some time as supposed to great (needs snow at the moment like everywhere else!). I have stayed and skied at Saas Grund several times which is good for access to (and cheaper prices) for Saas Fee. Also good as it has it's own ski area including off-piste which you cannot do at Saas Fee. Lauterbrunnen as a good valley base enabling you the choice of skiing Wengen on one side and Murren on the other. Recommend Haus, Austria next to Schladming (Austria) next mountain but completely linked up, the high valley/link between the two has a marvellous off-piste area and whole area is large with usually good snow (especially suited to cruising intermediates as good feeling of travel). Also Fiesch, Switzerland which is one side of europe's longest glacier - Aletsch Glacier - with the Eiger and Wengen skiing on the other but no large British operators go there. I stayed at Obergestelen down the road which is just before the mountain pass to Andematt. Large ski area but unknown to British. By the way I have skied in France (Couchevel, Val etc.....), a little in Italy and Andorra but do prefer Switzerland and Austria so sorry to those of you who love French skiing. Smile

Sierra at Tahoe or Kirkwood (round the same lake) best snow EVER and not very busy. Heavenly is the main resort but the smaller ones dotted round the lake are miles better. xx

Clive, Interesting thread. I have had a very pleasant summer holiday in Ovronnaz walking in the mountaims and friends of our return there most years.

Our best resort that not many have heard of is Haute Nendaz - we have been going there off and on for 20 years now. It's a satellite village on the Verbier circuit but 60% of the cost. Only one small UK tour operator goes there, not beautiful, very Swiss, and only 550 miles from Calais!! Very Happy Laughing
