Poster: A snowHead

If so, what is your best guess as to what the snow will be like? - Yes I know Crystal Ball batteries are hard to get I am almost certainly going along with friends for a short break, and am wondering if the learners' lifts in Tignes (Rosset etc) might still be operational or if the ONLY snow will be right at the top on the glacier, and not accessible to a shaky beginner who is still finding snowplough turns a challenge?? I need wide, shallow easy areas to start gaining some confidence, not something that will scare me silly!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

My son worked in Val D'Isere last season and said that the end of the season was definitely the best time to be there, plenty of snow, plenty of sun and not too many people. He's there again this year - having only gone out there in mid March, having not enjoyed the earlier part of the season nearly so much. You'll have a great time, NewSkier. You gonna take some lessons?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

pam w, I sure hope to take some lessons, as I am really lacking confidence! Stewart's going to check his diary when I have got dates fixed so I might be in luck though from what I have found on the internet, I think most ski schools have finished by then. The thought of snow, sun and no crowds sounds wonderful!

I've said this before, so forgive repetition:
After the first EoSB on our May Day bank holiday, Bev, Jon, Easiski and myself skied from the top of La Motte glacier all the way down to the car park at around 2 in the afternoon on good snow all the way. This year looks good for that at present, but you never know.
