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 :-)

Snowing again now. Yesterdays strong wind has now dropped but with whiteout conditions today. Piste snow is excellent.
La Thuile is in better shape that last Friday, they must have had a bit over the weekend.

Today (Thursday) blue skies and sunshine. On piste has glorious carving conditions. Of piste in La Rosiere crust layer. Of piste in the Col Saint Bernard is beautiful, 30cm of fresh fine light powder and lots of first tracks to be had even by an amateur like me.

Just back from La Rosiere after an excellent week. Toofy Grin Toofy Grin The weather was quite varied but the piste bashers did a good job of keeping all the runs open and in excellent condition. As we left on Sat 4th there had been about 10-15cm of fresh, very light power on top of the well consolidated base. The visit to La Thuile was disappointing - althought the weather was great the snow was not as good as in La Ros, however the weather on Thu seemed likely to be dumping in La Thuile. Fri morning had probably been one of the best skiing days I have seen with very low temperatures keeping the snow crisp especially on the pistes, topped off with blue skies and no wind (unlike earlier in the week!). The snowfall in the afternoon added to the magic, skiing from blue skies at the fort down into the clouds of falling snow. The conditions were ideal for testing my BBRs on groomers, crud and powder (I'll post something in the kit area later) and it looks like La Ros will be having a long, fully open season.

On the downside - I lost a chain on the way home... Embarassed Embarassed

Resort is busy for La Rosiere but compared to other resorts not at all. Blue run lifts are queuing for up to a minute the rest are ok.

Off piste is ok, it's easy to push through the fine snow and feel the crust layer under it.

Cloud dropped to below resort level this afternoon, making it a whiteout at that height, you could not see the chair in front of you on the roches noir. The wind is gusting this afternoon.

Over in La Thuile yesterday, conditions not as good as La Rosiere, pistes are hard and the odd patch showing up. Off piste was crusty in the morning and soft in the afternoon.
La Rosiere is firm pistes. Off piste is pretty much tracked outl
A little cloud cover today and warm. Sunshine and warm all week is forcasted.

Watched the big air competition, well worth it.

Here now. Great mornings in bright blue skies but slushy by lunchtime. Ok up high until later, though. La Thuile could really use some snow. Pistes ok, but plenty of green coming through. T-shirt skiing in the afternoons almost. Great for the kids. Not too cold, and lower slopes fine until lessons finish at 11.30 or so. Plenty of family sledging etc in the evenings without having to get all balaclava'd up. Would love to see colder weather and another dump, but compared to this time last year, it's fantastic from a family point of view.

Still hot. Bottom of La Thuile better suited to water skiers. Not quite as warm as past few days, and supposed to cool off next week.
Had a great week, though. Have seen one cloud all week.

saw that. It was great.

Less cool was the snowboarder that lost his board at the top of the crowd.
It was stopped by some guys foot, having reached terminal velocity through the crowd, just inches from a toddlers head.
Could have been very messy.

glad there's some much needed snowfall.

On piste is generally good, getting slushy low down/late afternoon.
La Thuile is suffering.
Cold strong wind is helping to keep the snow temp down, it is due to keep up the rest of the week.

Conditions are holding as stated, surprisingly the fontine froide is still open although with a 20metre walk to the life at the bottom and a few very narrow bits to get there.

Cooler conditions this week will help to maintain the pistes.

It is Easter week so the slopes are busy again (for La Rosiere)
