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 :-)

Off to Saalbach on the 23rd Feb and was just wondering (with this huge high sitting over Europe), do resorts count the manmade snow they are making in the snowdepth reports ?
I guess if you run snow cannons every night for a week could be quite a bit of accumulation.

yes they are, if the depth measurement gauge is near where the manmade snow is.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I don't think it is in Les Arcs. One of the stations used to measure snow depth is away from the piste and nowhere near any cannons. I assume other measuring points are the same.

No its not, I live in whistler, and have worked for snowmaking for 3 seasons now. We have no snowmaking equipment anywhere near the measurement stations. Apparently, Whistler Blackcomb can be fined (not sure who by, but something to do with frauding the public) if it is found to be making snow in an area where the fallout could possibly fall into the measuring areas.
