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 :-)

Val d'Isère Criterium home page in EnglishsnowHeads snowHead and have been officially invited to the WC men's downhill and GS at Val d'Isère over the weekend of December 11th and the two women's downhills the following weekend, as "official guests"... Live and exclusive reporting and photos of the Première Neige Criterium and all the surrounding events, and hopefully, if I can make it, from the practice sessions on the Thursday and Friday preceding the races. So start praying for snow!

PG, there's sure to be a big contingent from La Ros there, Joel Chenal our local racer is the top rated GS skier for the French, he was 5th overall last year. Give him a cheer.

David@traxvax, a really nice guy too - he was handing out the prizes at the end of season races in Vallandry, had a lot of time for the kids, hung around chatting to them for a good hour during the buffet afterwards... (no charge for the La Ros advertising... Very Happy )

Fantastic recognition - I think we should be very proud of ourselves

Recognition is all we'll have unless it snows soon! Just talked to a Val instructor, there's no way the downhills could be held unless there's some snowfall before long, speed events are out of the question as things are right now. It's not as if the decision is left until the day before either - FIS will need to know whether to transfer elsewhere in the next few days Sad

 snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

And am I right in thinking they make the decision 7-9 days in advance of the event ???

 And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Something like that, although they can put off the decision when there are 'mitigating circumstances'. But the event itself starts on the Wednesday 8th, practice runs Thurs and Fri, so we're running out of time....

 So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

Hi PG, I been away for a few days, but why has this thread suddenly gone quiet when I understand there has been 50cm of snow in the last 24 hours?
The Val d'Isere website shows this picture.

PG, I'll be there with some friends, somehow we didn't notice it was going to be criterium weekend (we/I though it the week after, doh!). What does the VIP status mean?

Thanks,

DM

David Murdoch, it's both - men's events the first weekend, women the following one. If you click on the Val logo at the top, all the info is there.

As I'm not a card-carrying journalist, it was the only pass I could get hold of. Vaguely Illegitimate Press, would about sum me up.
