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 :-)

spyderjon, not cold, just chilly Laughing and yup, gotta love it when everyone else looks out the window and wimps out - including my father and brother, who then refused to believe me when I told them how good the skiing was - complete lack of dedication Very Happy

Didn't take my camera - I'm hoping some of the photos my friends took get sent to me - if so I'll post some (with permission).
Mind you, Saturday was avalanche level 4.

It was all going so well - and this was within 100m of the piste, fresh tracks all day:



But then, unfortunately, I took the snowHead motto a bit literally:

Well, La Grave finally started revealing its secrets this weekend.

After a day of dumping in zero vis, the following bluebird day was huge fun, with rather a lot of this...


Once that was out of our system, we got some of this...


The following day the glacier opened...yee ha!

That pitch was actually well over twice as long as you can see there - so long you couldn't see all of it at once. And we'd had hundreds of freshie turns prior to that. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

which led into this...


Then in the afternoon we got some of this...


...this...


and then this...


I'm having a tough time thinking of a better day....ever!!!!!

Boom, Boom, Boom here in Sham at 5,45pm. There are few people here so i'd take it the sudden warm afternoon has made things real dangerous.

GrahamN, thanks to your pics, this thread is far more useful! Freshies in La Voute would, indeed, be pretty tasty

Arno, unfortunately La Voute had been pretty heavily skied by the time we got there - still plenty fluffy, but just rather chopped up. I think we did though manage to find the occasional pristine bit along the side. It was the approach to Chirouse that was km of untouched snow.

Just back from a fantastic couple of days in the Italian alps. Skied for two days in Pila and one day in Gressoney/Monte Rosa - conditions very good. Although it was sunny, it was quite cold. Some runs getting a bit icy.

Erm just checked my photos and most of them are from the lifts or when I had stopped (to much fun on the piste to stop and take photo's)

But when I arrived in bourg thursday night not a drop of snow to been seen.

When I went to get the car the next day (8:30am) it looked like this

I have two exhausted snowboarders here, had the best day ever. A big area left unpisted, a lift with few other people on it, and still finding fresh lines at the end of the day. Absurd amounts of powder, good visibility all day. My son, who spent two winters working in Val D'Isere, said it would have been tracked out in half an hour over there. Been feeding them tandoori chicken and ibuprofen; they are still drunk on powder. They are flying home tomorrow, sitting round in a daze saying they're never going out again, because nothing could ever approach today! (They'll change their minds though).

Oh, and just to maintain an adequate level of muttering, here's another one I forgot to put in earlier. Just a couple more pitches of the many we had in completely untracked powder (mine were the tracks 8-ing CS-T's on skier's right of the group - OKish, but could do better).

Man, I can't read this thread.. I feel like putting a bullet in my head. I'm STUCK here in Finland! I'm looking forward to getting back to Chamonix in April but it doesn't look too good now. That picture from La Tania is absolutely great. I'm jealous.
