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 :-)

Thanks, but we're looking to go cheap, so last minute tour op is the way for us. We might be looking to do a season at some point though. Need to save the pennies first though Sad

as I left yesterday conditions were still great - as jonno says it snowed 3 days of the 6 I was there, and as long as you stay down in la daille or breviere during the flat light spots it's excellent fun (go up to high and you both lose the light AND nearly get blown off the mountain Toofy Grin). The remaining days were glorious sunshine Very Happy Hope it holds well for those of you going out in the next couple of weeks, was absolutely fabulous. aj xx
(p.s Stewart, is that freestyle guy that took the nasty fall in the ski school show ok? That looked HARD and I noticed despite keeping the smile in place he didn't seem to be able to put any weight on one leg!)

After 2 of the best days of the season Very Happy this morning it's snowing once again Very Happy

Monday was a real bonus day with clouds in the valley but superb snow and blus skies above 2300m. Once the clouds had burnt off, by mid morning, it was a fantastic day with the only problem being lack of sun tan lotion for some of my clients Sad

Tuesday dawned like monday finished Very Happy with great offpiste skiing for my morning group of teenagers and their dads. The afternoon clouded in a little and the light became a little flat.

Today is the anual 'Roast beefs' v 'Frogs legs' rugby match which is always very entertaining rolling eyes

roga,

Give me a ring when you are here and we will go for a ski.

Lots of new powder yesterday Very Happy Skied Palafour first and then Piste H to Val Claret. No need for any off piste as the pistes had loads of fresh snow on a firm base.
We then took the funicular up the glacier and the fresh powder was amazing Laughing Laughing Laughing Knee deep and light most of the way down Double M Laughing Laughing Laughing It was not all good news though as towards the bottom the snow was heavy Sad and some of the higher lifts were closed due to the gusty winds.

In the afternoon we stayed as high as possible,good skiing was to be had anywhere the sun had not warmed the snow too much. The Trolles piste back into Le Lac was a proper black yesterday with lots of new snow and large moguls Very Happy I have never seen as many 'expert' skiers with their skis in their hands walking down Shocked

This morning is bright and sunny so should be a good last day for my clients Very Happy
With all the new snow and bright sunshine the avalanche risk is pretty high

Hotter than hell, beautiful weather. Everyting from decent snow on the glacier to boilerplate to mashed potato (although fairly fluffy mashed potato). All in all pretty good. More of the same tomorrow, snow later in the week, maybe.

Fairly fluffy mashed potato sums the conditions up well at the minute. Best piste conditions are definately first thing in the morning at the minute! Not too icy first thing either. Thankfully snow looks like it is on its way towards the end of the week!! Very Happy

The last 2 days have been awesome Very Happy Very Happy Clear blue skies, warm weather & great skiing Very Happy Very Happy

The pistes are a little firm first thing in the morning but soon soften up. Some great spring skiing available off piste, although the avalanche risk rises considerably in the afternoon.

A great time of the year for a bottle of Roseie wine on a terrace in the afternoon rolling eyes

Some snow & slightly lower temperatures forecast for this afternoon/night
