from what I could see through the web no base on south faces up to 2500 M or so maybe even higher. Don't know about north faces. Arabba received some 45 cm in the last 24 hours. Up to 30 cm are expected for today.
You might want to check
http://www.proguide.it this local guide gives regular snow updates on his site
A live report from someone there would be appreciated though.
YESSSSS! /Marv AlbertQuote:

rune - i might be up for a day at verbier. depends on the snow obviously. keep in touch.
probably would have been quicker than the tube which was totally messed up even though it's UNDERGROUND :nonono2:Quote:

When I were a lad and it snowed every year in Sarf London....we used to see skiers on Streatham Common and in Norwood Park.
The best lines are in an area of Streatham Common that was (is still?) known as New Park. Mrs Roo, if you are close by but don't know where I mean PM me and I'll direct you to the Secret Stash!
We grew up on what was then The Dark Side....tobogans!
These days we live in the country....Guildford Golf Club is the best place for miles around when there is snow.
I soooo nearly declared a day off work for myself on the grounds of "Snow Day" for some toboganing there but my wife pointed out that the kids had school and she had plans so only a saddo in his 40's would be out there alone.
Still...if there is more snow tonight I will be That Saddo tomorrow!!!
20-30cm of snow onto rock/grass with a few -15 degree clear days in the Alps should be perfect conditions for depth hoar propagation. Sharp temperature gradient in the snowpack. Be careful.
its been dumping here in munich!
there's mid city booters set up somewhere or other... can i be fucked taking 2 trains to get there though?
maybe hit the city centre for park rails
should be good when i hit stanton for the next month on friday!
might even have to change my signature soon

Used to stay near there. Climbed the Kampenwand many times as a kid. My old man worked in Eggstatt on the Hartsee.Quote:

yeah i can confirm the situation of "some of the northern places". looks like north/mid tyrol didnt get much, most places max. 20cm. skied 10-15cm of dust on crust/tree stumps/branches/rocks today.. had fun & it was better than nothing but theres still no base. a friend twisted the edge of his snowboard, and i got some p-tex work to do.. well, its white and looks pretty but thats about it, we could've used a lot more. hopefully saturday will bring some.
you should have gone to kühtai d00d. i told you the trees would suck :FIREdevilQuote:

dust on stumps/branches is better than dust on rocks.. ^^ i wasnt surprised by the lack of base, just by the lack of new snow ;(Quote:

about 5-10cm in zurich now, light snow all day, there has to be somewhere in CH where the has been some heavy snowfall
Skied the Petit Envers this afternoon, With Martina and Noono. Wind crust on 60cm (2ft) of fresh up high. As soon as you are out of the wind its fluffy - about 30cm (a foot) down on the mer de glace.
Out into the mist it's hard to see
