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 :-)

Mostly grass...Chamonix if famous for its 610 cm long grass, very specific type that you only find there.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Last April was incredible and we missed the lot Sad

You can search flickr by date the photo was taken, this is a really good way to get an idea of conditions. So - searching for Chamonix Snow, dates between 1st and 30th April 2008 gets you this:

queen_sheba, I've been several times on May Day Bank Holiday over the years, had amazing powder two years in a row. From memory there has never been less than 1m of snow at the mid station on the Grands Montets and usually at least 3m at the top, last year it was more like 5m+ at the top. Tons of terrain to play in, great spring snow to look forward to it's a great way to finish the season and if I hadn't busted my pesky knees last week I was all set to go again this May - enjoy!

queen_sheba, check out http://www.chamonet.com/snow_report.php if you click on the drop down box you can get photos for any week of the season. Last year was a long season and they could have kept open after the official may close date. May 1st was avi level 3/5 and a powder day!
This year is shaping up to be similar.
