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 :-)

tbanting, don't worry. Snow often doesn't really get going in earnest till towards the end of November/early December. Any holiday in December is always a bit nail-biting, and you don't expect much in the way of off-piste, but you'll probably be fine.

I was in Val Thorens last year for the opening weekend, not too much snow before that weekend but had a fair amount the day before we got there. There were about 5 runs open and we were pretty much the only people around, just crusied around all day, got lots of practice in! Some runs looked complete but weren't open, word of advised that early in the season looks can be very deciving!

See attached pic from the first day of the season 2007.

if you look on the val thorens website live weather site, it appears to be snowing at the moment i.e. temps close to or below zero and matching the dew points (it rains when the dew point is nearly the same as the temp), humidity close to 100%. snowHead

Great pic mcboz, snowHead . Hopefully we'll do OK with the conditions, I know it's ridiculously early in the season so I'm not expecting much. Hopefully the runs that are open will be as quiet this year as last snowHead .

Cheap and cheerful temp de soleil... hopefully booking up again with Proneige for ski school. You also save 10-40 euros on a lift pass if you do it through them!

We may have contributed to a University invasion in 1995 and 1996. Highlight was probably dragging one of our (very) drunk and unconscious colleagues on her mattress into the lift and sending her down to reception.

Snow was crap, flaming Drambuies in the Frog made up for it though.

I'm out there with Loughborough that week, think we are in the Temples du Soleil. Just hope that theres plenty of snow, never been before Christmas before...
Think either way the snow will seem rubbish after last season in Whistler.....

tbanting, We'll be there as well staying with Ski Total half way up the green drag in the centre of town. Mrs Mory will be using Prosneige for the 1st time (EFS in the past) i hope they are good.
We went the same week last year and it was epic. Load of snow on empty piste (apart from the naked students on their Valley Rally) and deep pow untracked off piste.
If the forecast stay as it is currently we should be in for a great time.
