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 :-)

Its been dumping and I if you ask me way more than initially forecasted. More on the way tomorrow too, at least 15cm

About 3 inches at town level and double that on the lower slopes when I walked up yesterday

Forecast for another 15cm tomorrow

It should be epic snowHead

I cant belive how much im looking forward to going away this comming winter, I was waiting knee surgery last winter so
I didnt get away. The wait for the snow to arrive was just teasing, now its arriving the 4th Feb cant come quick enough Blush Very Happy

Im already starting to plan (hope) how the first day will go. Embarassed
Awake to bluebird skies and fresh snow, Ski from chalet door down to the Bergers and take the scare chair (to test the knee) on the steady slopes and easy off piste options arround Auris.

Update:

I hiked up signal and the powder went from shin deep to knee to mid thigh. Luckily I stumbled onto a pisted patch which had maybe 2-3 inches of powder on top of a solidish base, which was much easier to hike up and lovely to ski back down on despite it snowing heavily and my legs being destroyed. Shame it took 90mins to climb and 90 seconds to descend.

Pics, as requested

Yes I think your right, shortly after I posted (lunch break at work) I had a look at the piste map and it suggests thsat it is indeed in the line of site beyond Pic Blanc

Any news over the weekend? We are arriving on Friday and I'm really hoping theres a bit more snow and a bit more than 11 slopes open! Also, we're staying out in the altiport area - does any one know if the slopes that go past that are open yet? Going to be a mission into town for the main lifts if not.

kat.ryb, welsome to snowheads. If you look at the webcam here from the Bergers area http://www.alpedhuez.com/hiver/fr/985/webcams-360-.html you can see the chalets at the altiport and it looks like it is pisted from there. That is ther Romains piste I think that runs between the chalets and down to Bergers

kat.ryb, that piste returns you to the altiport chalets from the top of marmottes 1. We tend to have a beer there at the end of the day. It was 12 euros for a litre glass, a couple of those then ski back down right to our chalet door Cool

I was reading in another thread where someone was asking about walkie talkies. A reply was to get a local £10 pay as you go sim and put it in your phone.
I was wondering if that would be a good idea for AHD. Is there a shop in the Bergers are that sell them.

Not sure where the freeze level is but the word from a friend in Oz (1350m) at 3.00 this afternoon was rain rain rain. Seems to be playing out as forecast, hope the rain doesn't trash what must be quite a thin base at lower levels before the freeze level drops and the dump starts!
