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 :-)

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

my childrens school has just told us that there in no way that we can have time off during term time next year Mad
we are able to use an appartment in the pyrenees for free, but not at half term. we've been considering going between xmas and new year. i know that this year has been exceptionally bad, but generally speaking, are the resorts usually open and ok at that time of year?
thanks







don't believe anything on the peyragudes web site re current conditions Mad

sequoiaboard, at that time of year you're taking a gamble.

sequoiaboard, I was there (in Font Romeu) this year, and it was exceptionally bad. However, I have also been at either Christmas or New Year for the last four years and the snow has been absolutely superb; we have never had any complaints about conditions. I'm not sure that the Pyrenees is any more of a gamble at that time of year than anywhere else. What you do need to be aware of, though, is that the resorts are generally small and can therefore get very busy at that time of year.

There are a couple of locals who post here who may be able to be more clear on the snow levels. You don't say which resort the apartment is in?

sequoiaboard, how about Easter? It's quite early next year, and generally snow levels will be better around 23 March than around 25 December. Also, Easter doesn't seem such a busy time for many resorts as Christmas/New Year. But obviously it's a gamble, whenever you go. If you rent an apartment on a DIY basis they are not expensive outside the main school holidays in many resorts - not a major element of a ski holiday, really. If the apartment you can borrow is not free at Easter it might be worth going somewhere with more snowsure skiing and renting an apartment.

You're probably too young to remember the TV programme "What's My Line". I wonder what Lady Barnett would have made of that?

sequoiaboard, what's a chainsaw sculptor? Do you sculpt using a chainsaw.

I suppose it's always a gamble early season even in places that get alot of snow like St Anton, looking at snow records give you an idea but the weather men have trouble with three day forecasts so forget more than 10 months away.
