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 :-)

What a rollercoaster the weather is doing in Pyrenees. Today the accuweather outlook has it to heat up over the next few days which will melt everything. Sad

Yeah, I'm really not enjoying looking at the forecasts now! Heading out to Pas on the 27th, I just hope it gets colder by then!

snow-forecast.com are still saying that it's going to be around 2 degrees over the weekend. I just hope accuweather is wrong!

The freezing level is due to rise, but not until after a heavy fall of snow that is forecast for tomorrow which should hopefully see another 20cm from about 1200m. The warmer weather will not clear the pistes, and colder weather is on its way back.

Garbure Thanks!!!those photos are very reassuring. Ianr1984 - i'm heading to the same area on 27th. heading to ax les thermes but if the snow there is guff pas is the backup plan. I suppose it's totally normal to have pre ski holiday snow level jitters.

I'm going to chill out for a few more weeks before i go Mad

The mild weather has certainly hit slopes lower down. Looking at the GFS and other reports it looks like we can expect another 3 or 4 days of mildish temperatures before cold air from the east hits us. This scenario is not necessarily bad, as the ground is going to be wet when the cold weather hits us which should freeze nicely.

Its too far out but fingers crossed for activity after the 15th.

I've got my optimistic head on now. The GFS graphs are starting to look good after the 13th - All of the lines are starting to agree that it's going to get colder.

Nice and cold & plenty of precipitation.

Fingers crossed for some powder by the 27th!

Yes, next weekend can change the weather but the reality is that we lost the last storms to create a good base (maybe in the western part better than eastern) so we are another time at the start. IF only the temperatures held in a reasonable magnitude now the pyrennees give us nice descents....But, another time waiting.... Sad Sad Sad (I hope that when we return from the Alps next sunday after open the season I look things better)

Its been snowing on and off for the last 24 hours. At Superbagneres this afternoon there was approx 10cm of fresh with more forecast for tonight. The cannons are also running which should provide a strong base for when they open this coming weekend. The freezing level is set to remain very low for the rest of the week. Very Happy Very Happy

I want to shoot the messenger!!! Mad they were predicting 40cm last week but now it has dropped to just a couple of cm. However the Alps are also suffering from the same problem.

Still can't stop keeping my eye on the forecast all the time myself!

It's still a long way off, but looks as though Tuesday will be warm. After then, the wiggles are all over the place - so there's no idea really as to where it's going.

Off out there a week on Sunday.....I just hope that the rain stays away!

Snowing at the moment in the Central Pyrenees down to below 600m. It is not too heavy though it looks like we should have 5cm by lunch time. Local wiggles showing a big jump in temps after a very cold day tomorrow on Tuesday with a mix of rain/snow at levels below 1800 expected though still not clear.

Waiting today for next 3 days episode that can bring lots of snow. In some areas can reach about 100cm of new snow. 50-60cm as average. Hopefully it can be the real start of the season in the Pyrenees!!!!!! Laughing Laughing Laughing

In some areas more than 60-70cm of new snow. And still falling. Tomorrow will arrive the major front, but a little bit warmer, hoping that the snow limit level don't raise too much!! Confused Confused Confused

Then on saturday the cold air return and another front hit us, maybe it can give about 20-30cm more....

Its all a bit mixed at the moment. Heavy snow and high winds at both Superbagneres and Peyragudes forced the lifts to close this afternoon. The freezing level is heading skywards overnight and tomorrow but colder over the weekend. Early next week isn't looking good at all with the FL heading above 2500m.
