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 report 24th February 2008

Blue sky conditions in Montalbert La Plagne last week
After last week's slightly pessimistic report the weatherHead is pleased to report that despite unseasonably warm weather and a lack of new snow , conditions are generally holding up well, mainly thanks to the excellent base laid down earlier in the season, however the warm weather looks likely to continue for the next week... bringing the frightening prospect of rain on lower slopes.

Don't tell anyone about the hidden valley in Les Deux Alpes
Many snowHeads have returned from France this week with continued reports of great holidays under blue skies, and slopes holding up well to the half term crowds. Tignes has had beautiful spring conditions last week, and both the on and off piste is still in reasonable nick. The story from Les Arcs and La Plagne is similar, with happy snowHeads reporting skiing under blue skies, but a growing need for new snow to freshen things up. Les Deux Alpes did get a dusting of fresh snow last week, however not enough to make a significant change to conditions, which remain good, although very tracked out off piste. It's the same story in Val Thorens, with conditions holding up, despite a need for new snow. Good skiing is also reported in the Portes du Soleil with fantastic weather. Elsewhere in France, updated reports are needed on Morillon, Montgenevre, Serre Chevalier, Val d'Isere, La Rosiere, Alp d'Huez, and Chamonix, so if you've just returned from any of these reports a quick update on the relevant thread would be much appreciated.

Austrian, resorts are possibly suffering a little more than the big French resorts as a result of their lower elevation and the warm weather and more snow is needed. Kitzbuhel is getting very slushy on the lower slopes, St Anton is also having unseasonably warm weather. Zell am See could also use some new snow to refresh conditions. Any news on Ischgl, Schladming, or any other Austrian resorts would be very helpful.

We could also use an update on conditions in Switzerland where things are starting to look a little patchy in places after the half term with new snow needed to refresh things. Laax has spring conditions with soft bumps on and off the piste, and Gstaad needs more snow to improve conditions. Any news on Zermatt or the other Swiss resorts would be very helpful.

Elsewhere in Europe things are much the same. The Dolomites are holding up well, the Pyrenees are not so good. An update on Courmayeur would be appreciated.

Tahoe and Fernie continue to have a great season. Updates are needed on Whistler and Sunshine village.

Discussion as to what the future may hold continues here.

As always thanks to all those who've contributed pictures and snow reports, we couldn't do it without you. Any queries or corrections please feel free to start a thread in Snow Reports or PM the weatherHead. snowHead
