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 :-)

@josephrance, what is the study for, what will you do with the data, and how will you manage the data? If this really is related to Cambridge I’d expect these questions to be preempted before a respondent can start the survey. You might want to check your department’s ethics policy.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

This is just a short survey to test interest in our undergraduate project. We are not collecting any personal data.

It would have to be pretty accurate to gauge the differing weather conditions in adjacent valleys, of even different parts of the same valley, particularly for those of us who like to travel over a number of different areas in one day.

Possibility of localised winds closing lifts on one side of a pass, but perfect conditions on the other?

I'd be happy to provide info for an undergraduate project, but preferably without google recording anything.

I've looked at the questions and began to fill it in, but sorry, it's asking questions about which the answers are pretty obvious. Yes, I check the weather. In terms of weather apps, there are plenty already, some ski specific and others not-snowforecast.com; bergfex; meteobleu to name but a few...and the alternatives for how far in advance you check the weather suggest that a skier would only do it once. I'm sure I'm not the only one who checks at various points, so you need to redesign the question to "tick all that apply"...

Is this really Cambridge Uni?? Some strangely worded questions, with some obvious answers...

Done agree with @Perty that a check is not a one and done. Also ultimately accuracy has to be the thing and that has little to do with an App, but rather the data that the App is relying upon. If it was easy Meto France etc would have already done it. Some of the existing Apps are easy to use and have lots of information, unfortunately it does not make them accurate as we are all warned - the weather in the mountains can change quickly.

@josephrance, can you provide a link to your academic profile at Cambridge. My work is currently in cyber security (no jokes please folks re 'retraining' and have worked in IT financial services for most of my career. I don't click on links Willy nilly.
