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 :-)

Alpine climate change by 2080: "Reliable snow cover to rise to 1500m-1750m"
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

16 European research institutes have made what is claimed to be the most reliable forecast yet of climate change in western Europe. The findings are published in the journal Science. The study, focused on 15 western European Union nations, as well as non-members Switzerland and Norway, projects that:

- Temperatures will rise by 2.1-4.4 Celsius (3.8-7.9F) by 2080.

- Mountain regions appear especially vulnerable because of a rise in the lower limit of snow cover.

- In the Alps, reliable snow cover in winter would rise to 1,500m-1,750m (4,920-5,740 ft) from 1,300m now, threatening the existence of many ski resorts and so undermining tourism.

The EU is encouraging bioenergy and is a strong backer of the U.N.'s Kyoto protocol, which sets caps on emissions of heat-trapping carbon dioxide as a step towards braking temperature rises. The United States and Australia are the only two developed nations outside Kyoto.

So 1,300m has reliable snow at present???

I tend to go above 1,800m as I have to book well in advance.
