Mail for help.Help!!
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 :-)

Velvet Snow

You've got to love the French..

Just popped in to the Les Gets site to check the snow reports.

"Velvet" snow.

Sounds good, that'll do for me. Better just check to see what that actually means..

Quote:

SNOW QUALITY :
Snow quality as mostly observed on the marked runs. It is described by the following grades :
. Fresh : neige poudreuse.
. Soft : powder snow, prepared or not.
. Hard : frozen snow, aged, with a strong consistency.
. Wet : wet snow, water and snow melted
. Spring : hard snow in the morning, which progressively transforms into wet snow at mid day.
