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 :-)

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
The earliest I've even hit the slopes was the 2nd week in Dec last year.

Anyone fill me in on expected conditions/best places to go in Europe for the 1st week in December??

Might be wise to choose somewhere with a glacier so that in the event of poor snow there's something open.

europa, Expected conditions, who knows. Last year was a particularly good one. jonm, has right idea. Tignes, les Deux Alpes (France) SassFee (Switzerland), Hintertux Austria.
These are just a few of the popular glaciers which are open most of the year so should be a safe bet. You would be hoping more than just the glaciers are open.
A nuber of snowHead's will be in Tignes the last week of Nov. So if I can I'll update on the conditions. There will be more out there before then so keep an eye out for Tignes threads.

Hemsedal in Norway. More chance of snow and they will have had the blowers on for a month by then.

glasgowcyclops, I hope Hemsedal is better than Geilo. We did there about 4 years ago. The resort had about 4 runs with a bus service between the two sides of a valley. Since then we have given Norway a wide birth.

I hope Hemsedal has snow by the time we get there for the week before Christmas. There is some snow on the ground there now so our fingers are crossed that it stays and the pound doesn't fall further. Little Angel

@ph, yep it is better than Geilo and lillehammer for that matter.

Of course I do get a free cabbin so I may be l;ooking through a rose tinted glass eye (hence glasgow cyclops) Happy

@ Andrew Bailey Have you been before? If not then some tips are....... skihire (I have skis there) best place is last shop on the right.

If youy need gear....... go to........ the shop below the supermarket.

Also there is a spar hidden away on the right as you enter the village.

AND the best tip ever is that one of Norways best discount places for skis is in the indistrial estate near torp airport. My borther got me a set of Dynastar driver9's with bindings for £100 Happy

Cheers

glasgowcyclops, Thanks for the tips. We have been to Hemsedal twice before but only for long weekends when there appears to be a large enough area to ski in. We pre-book skis from the ski centre as it is easier when with children (although it is even more expensive).

Will try the satellite resort just round the valley this year.
