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 :-)

Cool. I will make a few calls and come back to you in the next couple of days unless you know any of the Cham guides by chance?

Do you have an email address I can use for speed?

Hi,

We have had one other interested so a group of 4 would be perfect. We were thinking between the 2nd and 4th for the first day to work in with the other guys dates. Does that work with you?

Cheers

Guys it looks like little fresh before Tuesday. When are you in Cham from as maybe 3rd or 4th better? I can ring the guides unless one of you are there already and check the backcountry conditions assuming no more dumps before 2nd? What do you guys think?

Hey Paul,

Was skiing today off piste at La Flegere and remote backcountry looked pretty avalanchy. Some weird weather on the way, Foehne wind tomrrow which will heat everything up and maybe a little more snow on 1st Jan. Not sure how this will affect the snowpack. Overall though, I'd check with the guide.
Personally I'm happy to play it by ear nearer the time as am free any date 2nd thru 10th.

cheers,
Simon

I'm here in Chamonix already. I happen to be doing a little ski touring course so i will ask him his thoughts tmr. I can also check if he is available next week (suspect not) if you dont have anyone in mind.

In terms of current conditions, it snowed (and rained lower down) Xmas and yesterday. Yesterday's snow was accomanied by a lot of wind so some areas have less snow than before and others have wind slab. As a consequence a lot of stuff got left alone today (I was at le tour). My guess is that there will still be plenty with short hikes skins even after a few days as the snow settles down (it will be warm tmr and should be cold the day after - we are experiencing big temp changes at the moment). As for picking a day I suspect that is a bit of a lottery as the current weather seems hard to predict. Forecasts I'm looking at right now say snow on ny's day, I bet a couple of hours back they said something different...

Should we meet for a ski anyway when you guys arrive assuming it is not the right day for guide?

Should we continue this conversation by email?

My mail is pauldotmccaugheyataucapitaldotcom..not sure if email addresses are picked up hence the long form version!

Looks the snow on NYD means Tuesday seems good. We are happy to book for that day if you guys fancy it?
