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 :-)

Took some guests up to Champery on Sunday hoping to try out the via ferrata. Alas the rain scuppered our plans. Here's the wall you climb up. Anyone done it?
Hiked up above Les Crosets. Some sheep were enjoying the PdS off piste - never seen it so busy!
Discovered that Borat is in to hill running in his spare time
Views opposite to the Dents du midi
A good hike up from Champery!
We came back on Wenesday to hike up to one of the peaks, Haute Cime, taking the shorter route from Salvan. The view up from the Auberge de Salanfe
Pesky Ibex starting rock falls above us
View down to the Lac de Salanfe
Last pitch to the top
Happy despite clouds at the summit
Long way down to Champery
Nice hike. Long but interesting scenery and lots of Ibex and Marmottes around. Will try again from the Champery side on a good weather day.

Excellent landscapes, but Borat FTW!
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Good work, thanks.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Two questions:
is an ibex a bouquetin?
Do you carry that baby on your back?

, ibex (ibices?), bouquetins and chamois are different (and markedly different in size) - at least going by the stuffed ones in the Geneve Nat Hist Museum.
Then you can post your own questions or

, the one in the pic is actually a Chamois. Ibex and Bouquetin have longer horns.
What baby?
