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 :-)

Ooops..........Sorry!
Not quite as stupid as it may seem. The link in Gordon's post to PisteHors (your site, I presume) filled my screen with the map and a bit of text. I linked from the map to the meteo France forecast without scrolling down your page first. If I had, I would have seen the english translation there Embarassed


still, I suppose it just goes to show how much better graphical interfaces are than mere text!

You are right to point that out and I will go fix it when I have a moment. I had an automated translations tool which I spent ages training with special weather and avalanche terms a couple of winters back. It was doing a pretty good job then Meteo France changed the format of their page - they also keep promising to do an English version of the bulletin but never seem to deliver on this.

Anyway the formatting changes and the minor restructuring of the bulletin plus a license problem with my translation software meant I suddently couldn't do the translations in the middle of December 07. Google doesn't do a good job so I was on the point of abandonning the whole project and had started moving the links to the original French pages. Then I started work on another solution. However I need to convert my old dictionaries to the new format so the translations are a bit ropey at the moment. I have not had a minute over the last two months and with the avy risk set at 1/5 for weeks on end lacked motivation. Now we are entering winter Happy I will go back and have a look.

David@traxvax, sorry it was just my bad wording. What I meant was that I agreed with what you said. The next bit was extra information and a map. I should have been more clear.

Mountain-area wise it is on the Mont-blanc Massif (I think, or are the mountains on the other side of the Valley something else?)
