Poster: A snowHead

Hi,
I was thinking of booking a holiday in Claviere in April, I realize that the resort is high but how well will the snow be holding up in the rest of the Milky Way, any views on Claviere would also be well come.
Thanks Rob

go here http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/search.php
type "claviere" in the first search field and hit return. there's been quite a lot of discussion about Claviere recently.
for the snow question, when the alps in general were struggling for snow for a bit last season and for long periods of time the year before, claviere and montgenevre still had lots of snow - that was even when sestriere and sauze were struggling.

It is further south so it may experience warmer temperatures at times. However in the past 3 years I know that you have been able to ski down to 1800m (resort level) for the duration of the season.
It is a part of the alps that recieves more than its fair share of snow. At this time of year there aren't many places that you can head higher to resort wise. Unless its Tignes of Val Thorens.
Last year in April the area had significant fresh snow falls and I was informed that the conditions were amazing.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

i was amazed the airtours pulled out of Livigno last week of March last year (ie after easter) as there was heavy snow falling when we left on the 22nd. seems they wanted the reps at the summer venues
i first went to Montgenevre after poor skiing at Sauze resort level led there being an organised trip
that was way back in Jan 1985

cockerhoop, Claviere and Montgenevre genreally recieve more snow than the rest of the Via Lattea. It also tends to hold its snow better, Sauze d'Oulx is considerably lower.

CLaviere allegedly holds it snow far better than the rest of the Milky Way resorts. Having said that, a good skier would go stir crazy if you were restricted to Claviere for a week. It is fin if you can travel, but not if the links are closed.
