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 :-)

Ski and Board Camp Tignes 08 - November

Well we couldn't make October or December, so we are going in November, mid-week. We are not just anti-social, honest!

We will be there from 17th - 20th November - any other Snowheads going then?

RobinS, might seriously consider it, as it is hubby's birthday on the 18th. We aren't anti social either, vut December trip is too close to our New Year one, and can't get the time off in October.

taemo, This will be our first time to Tignes, and first time skiing that time of year. We are just treating it as an "extra", so I'm sure we'll have fun - we'll try not to use up all the snow before you get there Little Angel

Yeah, will be my second time to Tignes/VDI but definitely the first snow of the season Smile

Ive so got my fingers crossed that we get a little extra snow!

I really meant is it your first time going on one of these Ski and Boot camps, they sound great, can
believe I havent heard of it before!. Joanne was really helpful in booking so I think its going to
be a great weekend. Im sure there will be enough snow to keep us busy Smile

We go the last places that weekend so I was just wondering who else is going to be there.

Steve203rd,

Just read this from SCGB website

'Over in France, it's currently possible to ski back down to the bottom of the funicular at Tignes only via the Double M piste, but the new snow should help to open more runs.'

Sound like we are in for a treat Very Happy Very Happy

kwakazx6r, Steve203rd,
you're in luck: i've just got back from a tignes trip yesterday and it's predicted to dump loads from today until tuesday. snow cannons were going on double m, so you are able to come all the way down, but it was quite icy and scary at places. i wasn't aware of any other open runs that come all the way down. the predicted dump should help things along wonderfully. they were starting to run the other lifts to the left and right at the bottom of the funicular whilst we were there mon-thurs so i'm thinking they're likely to open these up soon - maybe even before the official start of the season. you'll have loads of fun when you get out there next week.

Steve203rd, We were out at the same time as sherlock235 apart from truly atrocious visibilty on Tuesday the conditions are excellent. It was our first trip to Tignes, and we skied every open run and quite a few bits in between. Parts of the the bottom of the Liesse black are icy (proper blue ice), and the Double M I would describe as "very firm" rather than true ice. Everything else was was perfect snow. They were forecasting storms and snow over the weekend, so as long as the wind is OK it should good next week. Mountainsun had the whole thing really well organised as well, transfers sorted, supper on arrival, sorted out skis at 7am on the first day, and lift passes etc no hassle. Not a huge chioce of skis, but MrsS got a pair of Rossi Attraxion Vs, perfect for her, I started on Scott Punishers when it was snowing, then in the sunshine moved onto Atomic Drive 11 piste carvers. All in all it was an excellent start to our season.
