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 :-)

So its all over then (mostly) for another year

Sounds as though most of the non glacier skiing resorts closed this last weekend.

As predicted last October the season will finish with far more snow than it started , in fact probably more snow above 2000m than any time before mid February.

Perhaps one immediate response to climate change would be make the season more flexible or else plan to start later and finish later, at least in the high resorts ?

The good news ?
Next month the nights start closing in and we begin the countdown to winter again. Toofy Grin

The bad news ?
The really good skiing these days doesn't begin before March Shocked

The MetO should be releasing its long range model prediction for next winter soon.

So what do you think for Europe? More of the same pattern, worse or a swing the other way, and we get the snow North America had this season.

Sage, Who can say? We could easily have a stonking season next winter - just can't telll till it gets here. This one was OK in the end, last year was brill, can't remember any further back. Personally though, I wouldn't want another 7 weeks of -20 at 09.00 in resort as we did 2/3 years ago - much too cold! This last winter was much nicer for working in! Shocked

Sage, be careful... not all of North America got good snow this year. Colorado was just OK, the northeast had nothing until February, and so on.

You ALREADY got some of N.American season! The east coast didn't get ANY snow till mid-Feb. And it just kept on snowing all the way till the end of April!

All the east coast resorts ended up extending their season for a couple weeks.

Frankly, I like this late season snow stuff. I couldn't care less about X'mas. I'm usually too busy with the holiday to even think of skiing!

I was forgetting things were a bit strange in N America too. Massive dumps in parts of Canada, but some resorts closing down in the USA.

I like to think that, I don't like to dwell on the doom and gloom that comes out of having not so good a season (below 2000m anyway).

[off topic] Oh, and my brother (Evski) and sister in law were up visiting me this month and mentioned they had some lessons off you in Feb. They were very impressed Very Happy [/off topic]

Well, so some people were telling us. If we'd listened to them we'd none of us have bothered. At our resort where skiing only goes up to 2000m most of the pistes were fine for most of the season and you could ski back to village level until mid April. I really enjoyed not having to dress like an Arctic explorer to go out for the day. More fresh snow would have been nice, as would the possibility of skiing the more distant areas at lower altitudes, which were very poor or closed for much of the season. It was neither a disaster nor a triumph. And the posts above illustrate how the swings and roundabouts have worked for the past few years. I am not even going to think about next season's snow till at least November; let's enjoy some summer. I'm about to go and scrub some weed off the bottom of my sadly neglected boat...

brian, I've just been looking there. It looks even better on the Cervinia side. April and May seem to be swapped round this year, certainly in the Western Alps and Southern England. Strange!
