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 :-)

Tignes April 2011

High resort with glacier! This should be pretty good in April, right?
That is what I've told my friend. Also she wants to know if she should hire skies and boots via the tour company or get them herself in resort. I plumped for the resort option. Agree, disagree, any rental reccomendations?

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

JulesB, book the ski rental online before she goes. Cheaper than in resort but she can choose her shop. If she books through the tour op then the hire shop could be the other side of town! I go with SkiSet and use their shop locator map thing to find the shop closest to my accommodation.

Right!

We've skiied in Tignes on the May Bank Holiday weekend in 3 of the past 4 years and the amount of skiable terrain still open was incredible - about 90% of the Espace Killy! And we had the slopes to ourselves wink

We skiied the glacier there last week and had great August conditions, with 10cm of powder one day. We hired skis from Ski Republic and got 2 pairs for €16 a day. What a bargain Very Happy

A lot of skiers wrongly believe that the ski season ends in April. Hmmmmm Puzzled

April conditions in the Espace? Resort near fully open, but can be slushy lower down in the afternoons if the sun comes out. Use factor loads suncream!

Bergmeister, taht ski hire soun ds excellent and much cheaper than via a holiday booking. Will pass that on thanks.
