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 :-)

The Easter 2007 thread

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Well we had various half term threads and so here is my Easter thread. 20 of us leave Manchester on the 1st April for a week in a catered chalet in Reberty 2000, which is modern arm of Les Menuires in the 3 valleys. We have been to the identical next door chalet last year with a small group and must say that I am thrilled to be returning.

Some folks are a bit worried that the snow will be poor going so late, but have been assured by yours truly that Easter usually has better snow than Christams / New Year.

Now for the (hopefully) great news: Monday the 19th sees a cold wet front sweeping down from the North. It looks like a fairly big system and at the moment is set to last over a week Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

With a big group it is often difficult to meet up with other folks but if anyone else in the area at the same time then let me know Very Happy Very Happy snowHead

Yes I'm EOSBing. The Snoworks Chile trip looks brilliant, but I don't think it's fair to Jane (who wouldn't want to ski in the summer) to do that as well as lots of winter trips, so I'll just have to look on enviously.

We're going out to Switzerland on Easter Sunday, skiing until the lifts close for the season the following Sunday. Build up of snow above 2000m looks great now. Very Happy

I know a few people who've been on the trip in the last couple of years, and without exception they all raved about what a wonderful time they had. Although there's a lot of skiing to be done, it looks like there is so much more to see and do as well. I'd love to do it, but a long summer skiing trip is just not an option for me unfortunately.

Still trying to attract Bev's attention to this thread. She will be on the EOSB thread and will think I am talking about 2 Alpes at Easter. Which I could be. Fancy South America at all Bev????

Frosty the Snowman, We will also be in the 3v at the same time Meribel from the 2nd and Courchevel from the 7th so like you we are also keeping a close eye on the snow conditions. Would not mind meeting up if the opportunity arose.

We'll be in LDA - just 8 of us with most of the time spent under the tutelage of Easiski. Hopefully will find the time/energy to sink a glass or three of red wine with Chris Bish, while we're there.

Annie, Would be very delighted. Still got nowhere to stay, but not panicking at all. Hoping to find a room in an undersubscribed chalet. Despite my attempts to distance myself from the school trip, I now find myself the official deputy leader of it! There are some jobs where you just can't duck responsibilty, it seems. Our students are, by the way, almost entirely delightful in every way. It is just that the LEA rules mean they can only ski with an instructor and only 4 hours a day. Have you booked huge amounts of Charlotte time then?

Just remembered Colin B is in resort that week too (I think)

AxsMan, I am going down to visit this trip at my own expense and in my holiday time because I would love to share my joy in skiing with my students. I am not a part of the trip! I am just visiting.

No way could I cope with those sort of restrictions on a mostly safe activity.

Loads of terrain suitable, in Les Arcs and across in La Plagne if you fancy a longer trip for a day or two. Where are you staying?
