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 :-)

Starting to look a little whiter! They've had a good 30 cms up on the Grande Motte glacier now.

The photos here were taken late afternoon ....

Very Happy snowHead . For the first time ever I have not mourned the passing of summer. These photos show why. Thanks PG

PS Watched the Hannou training vid on the snowMedia Zone. Very impressive skiing but were you holding the camera with your bad arm wink

Frosty the Snowman, that's me filming having made huge progress on last season when heavy breathing sound effects plus camera shake in time with my heartbeat were standard extras ... kuwait_ian, yes once or twice a day when conditions allow is the plan, same as last year.

Martin Nicholas, Afraid it's mostly melted down at 1600 now since the first pic was taken - see the latest images.

This is the new simplified page link for the four different webcams - http://mysnowsports.com/cam

So if anyone wants to link to the page as a whole that's fine, or to any of the individual cams - there'll be one image renewed daily of the Upper Tarentaise, one of Bellecôte, one of Arc 1800 and one of the Cachette at 1600.

It's been a touch warmer, must try to get up for a look, but I've had to do some work for a change wink ...

Looking at the site they've a pic that suggests a recent photo with the text "barely a few days after opening and snow right down to the resort...."

PG, not sure, that's quite a bit lower than our building. I think that there are some resort services buildings halfway up the road between Les Lauzières apartment block and our development at Alpage du Chantel - I think the crane might be in that general area. I'm not aware of any building due to take place where that crane is (the only new stuff I've heard about is Intrawest acquiring a small plot of land above our development).

rob@rar.org.uk, I was just intrigued by the rounded shapes, couldn't make out what they were.

Intrawest, above your development? Might not be good news view-wise, or is it sufficiently far away?

The crane is being used to build what I beleive is the new concert hall. Was at my place in the summer and can see it being built from the balcony, beleive it should be finished for the winter season. It is situated where the local council buildings are just off the road past the entrance to the bus drop off place in 1800.

chriscole, interesting... here is a pic (dreadful quality, am using maximum digital zoom from a good few kms away)

A concert hall, you reckon?

chriscole, was there a temporary hall there last year? I remeber looking down on something which looked like it might have been a sports/concert hall.

PG, it's not in our line of sight, and if I'm guessing correctly will be sufficiently far away to have no negative impact at all. I believe it is on/near the tennis courts alongside the Carreley nursery piste. If anything I'm pleased because (a) it will add a restaurant or two very close to my building, and (b) will probably hasten the construction of the pedestrian-friendly lift which is proposed from 1800-centre up to our part of the resort.

It's been very warm for a while now, snowline rapidly retreating on the north-facing slopes I can see. Not a flake in view above 1600 - the peaks go up to 2100 behind the Cachette slope. The rocky slopes behind 1800 won't be very white for much longer. At least there's still Bellecôte to look at in the meantime!

Always good to see the first snow cannon tests of the season, up on the Cachette! Don't mistake the white spray for snow though... it's definitely water droplets only!
