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 :-)

Got back last night. Never ever seen so much snow.

What is that Spinal Tap quote about turning the volume up to 11 ?

Parlor nearly broke me with a trip to Rock Garden....but wow...just wow!

Yesterday was a wonderful powder day with Bruson kindly staying open for me, my daughter and about ten other people.

If it doesn't snow another flake in 2009 (unlikely!) there will be ample skiing on piste to the end of April.

wasn't great on gentianes or vallon d'arbi. Looks like the wind has blown some off so we were going through to the hard moguls underneath. Will surely be good in the trees and where it is more sheltered.

Parlor, you may well be right. I was expecting (and hoping) for powder heaven but on heavily skied runs like Gentianes and the nice face that drops off the path down to Vallon D'Arbi was often hitting the hard mogulled base underneath. Imagine it was good over the weekend in the sunshine. We went to Monterosa which has lots of snow but much of the off piste now affected by wind and sun. Loved the terrain in Alagna and Gressoney though!

Why is this thread so lightly populated?

Anyway, two top days yesterday and today in the 4Vs. Snow excellent everywhere. "Old" Powder to be had on northern aspects. Yesterday; top of Vallon d'Arbi splendid. Mont Fort bumps yummy. Gentiane very fine. Today; headed (were staying ~Nendaz) towards Thyon - reather more cruisy but some nice bumps and crud found.

All mighty fine.

Went for a walk to the Hospice at the Grand Saint Bernard at the end of last week. Got caught in the "wind tunnel", a great trip but the snow conditions were "hard" to "windblown", a video here http://www.chaletgeorge.com/
