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 :-)

Snow round-up 18th November

View from easiski's balcony in Les Deux Alpes
Many European resorts are rushing to open early as some US resorts struggle somewhat. After what's been called a "once in a lifetime storm" over the eastern alps, which then proceeded to move west... many european resorts are opening earlier than planned, whilst in a turnaround, some of the Utah resorts famed for their early snow such as Alta are having to delay their opening after early falls melted.

Great conditions are reported by snowHeads at Les Gets, Champery, and Chamonix, with reasonable conditions on the Glacier at Tignes. Meanwhile snow is reported down to village level in Les Deux Alpes. Great reports and pictures have been coming in from Austria for the past couple of weeks and a huge 'bounty of snow' is aparently sitting taunting skiers above the resorts of St Anton and Lech which are not yet open, however skiers at Schladming were able to take full advantage. Switzerland is also reporting a great start to the season, with good conditions at Laax amongst others. Unfortunately on a more tempered note warm winds are forecast for next week.

However it's not all doom and gloom in North America, with conditions in Fernie beginning to shape up nicely and Whistler expecting another 50cm of snow around Wednesday to add to the metre they already have, just in time for their opening this week.

Excitingly, in a PM, Mike Pow tells the weatherHead of a fun day spent skiing in reasonable conditions at Niseko in northern Japan, with more snow on it's way.

Meanwhile the webcams are looking promising for many resorts including Vitosha,Ischgl, and many others! Let's hope that all this pre season snow doesn't suffer the same fate as it did at Alta...

As usual there is educated speculation as to what next week may hold, and excitingly some weather experts are predicting a colder than usual winter in the nothern hemisphere. We shall see...

Any more information, corrections or updates that you may have, please PM the weatherHead.


With thanks as ever to http://pistehors.com , http://www.snow-forecast.com , and easiski
