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 :-)

Online mapping resources for europe?

I use streetmap for UK Ordance Survey Mapping and Geoportail for French IGN mapping. Both are great for planning/investigating ski tours, off piste walking etc. Are there any similar websites for switzerland, austria, italy etc?

I'm not sure if its exactly what you're after but bikehike.co.uk allows you to plot routes on overhead photographs of the area and then gives you elevation, gradient and distance details for the route you're after. For some reason the elevation data seems a lot less reliable for europe than the uk but it can give you a good idea of what you're after

Try http://map.search.ch for Switzerland. It seems to be a bit tempermental these days and you may need to set it to static map but it has lots of info

Not quite what I was looking for but I've found www.plandeville.ch though which gives you the full Swiss topographic maps.

Italy anyone?

Don't know about Italy. But for Austria you can use this source:

austrianmap (Scale: 1 : 50.000 but you can zoom in, of course).

This is from the official cartographic survey of Austria. However, their internet application is a little bit of a hassle (I'm using the off-line DVD version, though this version is quite expensive). The underlying maps are of top notch quality (though they do not reach the standars of the Swiss maps but there is no map in the world which comes close to the Swiss maps).
