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 :-)

Verbier Snowheads Powder Party

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Finally some fresh snow and despite the gloomy forecast an array of snowHead's descended on Verbier. Rain in the Le Chable car park wasn't a great start.....

Fortunately by the top of Funispace there was a glimmer of sunshine. We headed for Gentianes via Chasseur and Col des Mouches....

snowHead's lining up for some bumpy pow. Skidog leads the charge.


CSki getting to grips with some Kuros!


Got heavier down at the bottom of Chasseur and you could feel the old bumps underneath...


Then the sun came out proper so we hotfooted it up to Mt Fort and enjoyed the chunky powder under the cables...


Skidog appears from the mist...


Horizon, Idris and Skidog looking happy...


This is why...


Horizon trying to fly


Cski looking pleased with herself


There were even freshies to be had on the Gentianes itinerary!


Straight back up for everyones favourite - superbowl


No going through to the old base here!


Tom shredding


Whoops


Nice cartwheel


Swirly (aka Mr Cool...)


Cski getting horizontal on the Kuros


Gorilla looking serious...


Pow everywhere


Horizon proving skis under 100mm still have a (limited) use...


Gorilla


Made it to the bottom as the weather came in. By the time we got back to Tortin it was snowing heavily. Hopefully same again tomorrow...

Thank so much for everyone's company, it was such an awesome day. I even got back to the M25 just in time for Yummy Svindal's slalom run, can't get better than that!
I couldn't resist parking the Kuros next to Andre Myhre's race skis at the Carlsberg.

I think that sums up today perfectly. Considering it was only clear from 10 till half 1: good work all round. Loving that photo of me copying the patented X. De La Rue powerslide Laughing

Great to meet a few new people too. Hope for more tomorrow, it's been raining in Nendaz for a while, should be snow not much higher up.

Jesus H. Looks great - a week to go for me - I was beginning to fear the worst but it looks like a could be a great week.

This season lark you guys have done in the 4V is a dream to me, has it been as much fun as it looks and are you back to some sort of career when it ends?

Fifespud, I don't know about the rest of them but I'm totally unemployable now! If the forecast is right your trip won't suck Madeye-Smiley

Arno, yes we are, but hey, life is good NehNeh .

There was a split in the group due to 3 of us not getting on the same cable car as the rest of the group. We had to do a run down Stairway it didn't suck but we have no photographic evidence to prove it. Thanks to all the snowHead's we skied with today great to meet some new faces and to ski with some familiar ones on a day like today. It was a large group (with a high average waist width (of ski)).

Rain in le Chable too should be good tomoro. Madeye-Smiley

Another 30cm had fallen overnight at Col e Gentianes. 16cm at Les Ruinettes. Unfortunately not great viz and the high lifts weren't open first thing so we did a few laps of the Lac De Vaux bowl...



Kev - a new Kuro fan...




Horizon out of the BASI text book...


When it was clear the top lifts weren't opening before lunch we headed down towards Vallon d'Arbi. Bit of sluff going on the steeper slopes...


Only a handful of tracks in the Vallon d'Arbi Very Happy


On the path to the Col des Mines


No tracks here!


Horizon and Irbis


Camerman's privilege!

Tim eating pow


Skidog shows the way through the bushes

I can't believe I got such bad bad snow Sad
Got back saturday morning from my week! There was still enough on pistes to keep me entertained and the park had some great rails. But I wanted pow!!!!!!! Got some new baskets and everything..........then Rain last saturday I almost cried!!!!

I'll put up a trip report this week sometime. I was dreading these photo's bobinch, as we got the bus out at 5.55am Saturday morning and all the fresh snow falling i felt like staying!!!! So close to staying, apart from new job that started today Sad

Great photo's again, shame that all my research reading ur posts for ages getting good pow fields was completely useless as of piste last week was so icy and frozen. Having said that, there were some ok bits at the top of Mt Fort (where i lived most of the week when open) Tortin was fun too and the of piste at the bottom of the run while wet, was still a challenge. Though my pitexting candle got a good use after those bits.

So jealous!!!!!!

Great pics though guys looks like u had an amazing time this weekend! Despite bad snow I'll certainly be back with a new snow dance!

But it looks like you found it anyway.

bobinch excellent photos - looks like you had an even better day than we did in Andermatt - if that's possible. Early vis was a bit poor, but it cleared up by about 10:30, and we were possibly the second group down Felsental and about the third group down Guspis with pow all the way snowHead .
