Monday spent in Alpe dHuez. Good fresh tracks firstly in resort down Sarenne; then afternoon off the back of Pic Blanc down to small village think it was Clavans fresh tracks ,ost of th way; few rock hits but not too bad. Mostly soft week old powder; very occasional sun crust: excellent:
Today tuesday 2 alpes: to St Cristophe: guide said he had rarely seen it in such good condition for this time of year.
So if you read in conjunction with my LG report - its mixed but if you stay off the beaten track and know where to go theres good stuff to be had: latest forecast is for change in the weather on Sunday:
you still have my number, pm me if not? be forwarned: my ass may be against the wall when you're around. :pQuote:

not the mario matt fan club! i still have that guys sticker on a pair of my iggies. thanks for the hinter rendl memories powslut, that line holds the goods weeks after storms.
Powslut - will PM and text you (this time for sure).
Schladming is going to be a blast - let's hope the lonely brain cell from the Pitztal (Benni Raich) can put an end to the Giorgio Rocca domination.
This thread needs to be renamed 'No Snow For The Euros'.
Sad but true.Quote:

monte rosa is at the moment the very worst spot on the alps for skiing. They never were decently nuked, and the few skiable spots are raw ice. take care.Quote:

last i talked to them they had some 'bribing' scheme to lure canuks with skiing and them have them skinned 'silence of the lambs' style, but that could've just been rumor.Quote:
