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 :-)

The source is Meteo France, the weapon of choice for serious alpine climbers etc.
Usual caveats apply re how far in the future it is.

it originated from an article in le dauphine that i posted on the weather thread yesterday. The english version seems to have something of a more optimistic feel to it though.

Sorry I missed that.

The snow condition reports for Scotland used to be so outrageously up beat they where funny but useless. I have always found Meteo Chamonix (not the source) extremely reliable, even stating the level of confidence.

As far as I can see they're predicting a rather small amount of snow (or possibly rain) for the middle of next week.

Snow in the town on Monday 5th!

However, the situation is only slightly better ("snow showers") somewhere like Tignes.

http://montagne.lachainemeteo.com/meteo-alpes-du-nord/station-montagne/previsions-meteo-tignes-le-lac-1474-0.php

So the medium term forecast is still mainly "I hope it's cold enough for them to run the snow cannons".

Wenesday 30th November I'm thinking is the start of it! Very Happy

Monday 5th is way far too far out to predict in any reliable form. Even predicting for the 30th is borderline.

Hope they are right. It's been fantastic through Autumn, so the thousands of builders who pass my door morning and night can get up to continue the good but en-retard work in Avoriaz. First week in December is fine, but we need lots of it then on a regular basis.
-6 when I left for GVA this morning, so the ground is cooling nicely ready to accept a good base.
Bring it on.

"EXTENDED OUTLOOK UNTIL THURSDAY DECEMBER 01 2011

Tuesday : sunny - cold in the morning. Wednesday : cloudy from the northwest - dry. Thursday : fairly sunny in the morning - getting colder - becoming overcast in the afternoon - snow towards the evening. Outlook is still uncertain.

Forecast reliability : fairly good until Tuesday - poor thereafter."

If you get told in French about anything which is going to happen "normalement" you need to listen out for the (normally unvoiced) "mais.......".

As in "Normalement la nouvelle télésiége sera ouverte avant Noel....."

I've come to the conclusion that in most circumstances the best translation of "normalement" is "hopefully". Related, I supposed, to the English use of "normative" rather than "normal". wink

If any French person tells you something you wish for will happen "normalement" be afraid. Be very afraid.

Yeah, "normalement" definitely means "barring any un-foreseen circumstances" rather than "normally"!
