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 :-)

My last trip this season is over the Royal wedding weekend - taking Thursday off work flying back Monday afternoon. Will get 3 full days ski-ing in plus the top of the mountain concert at Ischgl featuring the Killers. If the conditions do worsen considerably we will hire mountain bikes and still have fun - a lot more fun than watching the wedding.

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

Last day in Serre and people still having a great time.
Last night we were talking about conditions etc over the years, and many years ago the norm was that you'd often have to get the lift back down - and that if you think about it, all the big restaurants / nursery areas are at the top of the gondola stations / midway stations where there is always snow.
It's only in the last 10 -15 years with snow cannons that they have been able to produce the snow that is more or less lasting all season enabling people to ski back down to resort level. Ok you can't do anything about the afternoon slush on skis, except that my other half has migrated back on to the snowboard over the past couple of weeks and has had a great time.
As for me I've been hiking up very steep footpaths and then putting snowshoes on once out of the trees and rotten snow - and such a shame that I can't cycle as I'd be out their with all the other roadies enjoying the summer conditions.
And what I've seen is how all the forecasts are total bollox we've had wall to wall sunshine the past three weeks and that was not forecast even on daily basis and you would have thought they could have at least got one day right!

practically anything is more fun than that!
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Looking at the webcams this morning, Flegere and Brevent are now shut.
My mates back in Tignes report that even this mighty resort is now suffering and the webcams show Palafour and Chaudannes as isolated white ribbons, across the rocky aiguille.
