Just heard from my son, the snow level in La Rosiere is down to 2,000m so almost at village level already.

Best snow on upper slopes. Pisteurs working superbly. Marmottes hibernating.

That's pretty good considering where the snowline is in Tignes (guessing about 2400ish from looking at the webcams).

David@traxvax, Have a word with the webcam folks please. I have have had enough of the conditions on the 29th June.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

What's wrong with the conditions on 29 June?
Best snow on upper slopes, as per our usual guidance.

Frosty the Snowman,
That bloody annoys me so much. Passo Tonale (Our chosen destination this year). has its cam stuck on 6th October 2005, a very snowey picture, but no doubt alot of it has melted. At least nearby Livigno is honest and gives a daily update.

Yes, sadly a lot of it has almost certainly melted. This webcam at Plan Maison above Cervinia (altitude of lift in view about 2600m-2800m, from memory) is rarely switched off:
The snow in view is the last remnants of the recent storm, which put about 50cm on those slopes.

If only Cervinia had a few good old Scottish fences they'd be on a wide cover of new snow on firm base there

The snow in Cervinia has melted since this morning.

But here's the snowier scene just across the border - the Schwarzsee cam at 2583m. Less sunny (N/E facing, I think):

rob@rar.org.uk, you'll see that we often get different weather than the rest of the Tarentaise, something to do with the proximity to Mont Blanc.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

David@traxvax, just to satisfy my curiosity, is that La Rosiere across the valley on the far right of [http://resortclub.arc1950.com/scripts/webphoto.php?lg=gb&ete=0&date=1128947096]this[/url] picture looking down from just above Arc 1950 - I've always wondered when skiing at Les Arcs.

Bungle, yes it is looks as if the snow my son was talking about has all gone but isn't that a great view of Mont Blanc.
|

You know it makes sense.
|
|
David@traxvax, Many thanks - curiosity satisfied - it certainly is a great view.

Bungle, I like La Rosiere, and I am sure Mrs Bungle is delightful. Guess who that leaves out.
