@KenX, unfortunately went to finally actually register (above post was the mental confirmation) and online is closed so will have to see if I can tomorrow afternoon when they open, but there's the little matter of potential overnight snow
I also did register for the XC ski test in Les Albert's (Nevache) tomorrow but with the forecast knew that might not be the best of decisions so bought skis and boots yesterday at Intersport and had a little Monetier Le Casset sortie this morning before the weather closed in.
So let's see what tomorrow brings, and transfers might be interesting depending on what comes down tonight as various forecasts are predicting varying amounts.
Snowing here on the Italian side, only a couple of inches at 1350m, but coming down in big fat (slightly moist) flakes. Due to continue for a good while.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?
@rogg, yes great big feathery type flakes, unlike a week ago, and we watched the snow coming down for four or so hours outside the resto we were all in, and it was so heavy that it pretty well consolidated as soon as it landed.
I was clearing the heavy snow off the terrace on my return, and now this morning just measured and it's a soggy 8cm on the terrace and 16cm on the table, which I hadn't cleared.
Going to be fun transfers today !!
I might go up the hill and do a couple of valley runs, but it's wet weather gear etc , but hey, at least it's not raining
I’d say there was 5-6” of fairly damp snow on the roof of the van first thing.I drove up the hill at about 5:30 so avoided most of the mayhem. I heard tales of Lorrie’s slithering and someone trying to dig a car out of the side of the road with a snowboard….. I did a couple of runs around Monty to get the juices flowing, and it wasn’t too bad. The only issue I had was there’s a bit of an uphill hairpin/oblique junction which requires a little momentum. Got up to speed and heading for the bend when I saw the plough had just been through and pushed a two foot bank up right across the road. Had to stop and dig it out to get to my clients. Just crawled around the corner and up the rise.
Other than that fairly un eventful bar a car transporter fire near Susa.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@rogg, are you working with SnowCab ?
Yesterday morning went up the hill with @KenX, and had a manic 90 or so minutes nigh on just on our own in our usual stashes, and snow was better than expected in the trees, though we didn't venture much above the treeline as the weather was grim.
I was riding my Scott Sleight 93's and theoretically should have been on wider skis 105+ but didn't really notice too much, though did comment to Ken that I felt I was in the back-seat more as I was trying to keep the tips up, but we were often on straightlining the snow.
And I was quite knackered after that sesh, but then in the afternoon went to see if I could register for the Nocturne 8km Snow Trail, and unfortunaletly I was successful
As ever was a great atmoshere at the start, and almost glad we did that as don't think I could have faced the 10km daytime race which was on today's menu with far more climbing and a 20km for the uber keen.
And it was one of the tougher races that I've done, just wish I had bought the same crampons that the OH bought as the descents were trecherous with the danger of going off the narrow beaten trail on a bend and sinking in the snow and then loosing footing with the momentum of your body putting some horrible trauma stresses on your bones, all this at night in the forest with a headtorch and quite often younger runners up your chuff trying to get past.
But as ever, OH won her age group, as I think she was the only female nutter of her age who entered and I came 2nd in mine, but again not too many of my vintage entered, and there were still a fair number behind us.
But the beers in the 1420 were so good afterwards
Today, I finally had to have a day off and walking was hard work, but did see the British Army racing, and these guys were impeccably turned out, and they were just about to start a tough climb before taking a trail that we often run which is fecking arduous with a steady drag of a gradient, and then what goes up has to come down, and that would require big cojones on XC skis
All that snow of yesterday etc is fast consolidating, though should imagine at altitude will still be cold snow, but light is very flat, so not ideal for off-piste, but should imagine that it will still be well tracked by the end of the day.
Again great snow for building a good base on the pistes up the hill and for the XC pistes in the valley.
Went up this morning and the wonderful boot-deep heavy fluff of yesterday is now around half the depth and all skied out, it was still fun in the trees, and a great top up for the coming weeks!

Re ....
A little end of the day information for tomorrow's skiers...
We have a slight damage issue tonight we will not be able to rework the tracks.
Thanks to the beautiful snowfall from Friday to Saturday night and yesterday (about 40cm on the Monêtier side) the slopes are very beautiful but the bottom is still a little soft for skating practice especially in the mountains. Unlike the classic which is in very good condition...
However skiing will be fun tomorrow except for those who want to hit a perf!
We'll restart all the tracks Monday night....
We apologize for this little inconvenience!
See you very soon

So I heard superlatives used today, which sound so much better in French
Exceptionnel, Magnifique, Superbe as they were used to describe the cross-country, pistes after they had finally managed to bash them.
I left Pointillas, and there is a flattish stretch just over a km long with a little spike of a gradient, and I ended up doing six loops of that, as it was in such good condition with hardly anyone else on it to spoil the corduroy, and it's so good for skating technique, and I didn't have to beast myself up to Le Casset, though still ended up pushing a high HR
After that, I had a session booked with my physio, and this time round she concentrated on my knee, which was very sore after the race on Saturday, but I couldn't feel it skating!
We all met up just before lunch at Mat's and I booked there every day for when some famille come out in mega high season, as I'm sort of dreading all the hordes, so now trying to put together a strategy together which will also include booking the dog sleds, but no doubt will all go to rat sh***
Piste skiing up the hill evidently was very good, though my OH was nigh on taken out by an igiot at the Bivouac, so she's now well up for a little ski-tour on the South side tomorrow (pic below), though snow-pack might be a tad technical in places, though I'm hoping for Spring snow porridge, subject to the Weather Gods playing ball!
Last time I went up there with Ullr was a nightmare with all the boar scents, so will be sure to charge trackers ce soir!

We had to go to Briancon this morning, as the dog food supply was getting low. We had planned to ski later, but by the time we got back, decided to walk the dogs up to Le Casset instead. XC pistes all looked in really good condition. It's been a bright but cold day. Looking forward to skiing tomorrow.

@Weathercam, we were off piste on some south facing slopes today. ‘Technical’ is a fair description
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
@AndAnotherThing.., well it was pretty damn good, way better than expected, only issue was that the "team" became a tad tired as the climb is quite tough, I could have pushed on for another 500m, as snow was looking so good, but made do with circa 650m, leaving OH at the chalet and a mate further up.
Run out was quite challenging, but better than last week.
Info FLASH : Durant les 10 prochains jours, les perturbations vont s'enchaîner dans les Alpes-du-Sud. Avec des chutes de neige régulières en montagne et parfois, dès la basse montagne comme c'est le cas ce matin.
Au final, l'enchaînement de ces perturbations devrait donner des cumuls conséquents au delà de 1500m jusqu'au début du mois de Février à minima.
Aucun anticyclone à prévoir à perte de vue pour le moment!
C'est donc plutôt une bonne nouvelle sauf pour les amoureux du soleil
LES PERTURBATIONS VONT S’ENCHAÎNER:
Ce matin déjà une perturbation a donné de la neige dès 600m sur notre département.
Cet après-midi, les précipitations faibliront et la limite pluie neige remontera vers 1200m.
La deuxième perturbation arrivera vendredi après-midi vers 14h/15h.
Le gros lui arrivera en soirée vers 20h/21h.
Le tout s’évacuera par l’Italie dans la nuit vers 1h/2h.
La limite pluie neige sera dans un premier temps vers 1200m avant de redescendre vers 800/1000m.
D’ici samedi, il faut s’attendre à 15/20cm au dessus de 1500m, 10cm à 1000m, 1/5 cms à 800m.
La troisième perturbation à attendre arrivera dimanche en fin de journée vers 19h et elle s’évacuer à vers 3h.
La limite pluie neige sera assez basse vers 800m sûrement.
D’ici lundi matin, les cumuls seront de 30cm au dessus de 1500m, 15/20cm au dessus de 1000m, 5/7cms au dessus de 800m.
Et cela va continuer!
Toutes les perturbations et les prévisions seront à suivre sur cette page et dans notre application bien évidement!
Bascially we're in for a period of unsettled weather, and as ever, the various forecast models are showing differing accumulations, but if out next week you might not see too much in the way of sunshine.
It would be excellent if we saw 50cms but think I'm being glass half full, but we must be in for a substantial dump sooner or later.
That said, the pistes are in great condition and no matter how much snow falls, the quality of the pistes is directly affected by the piste maintenance & volume of traffic, though at least we should not see the piste littered with stones like we did over the New Year!
It's the off-piste that will benefit the most, as we keep saying that we need a good 50cm lower down to cover the stumps and rocks in the forests, as well as on the South side, as case in point, after yesterday we were saying how we used to do more runs on the South side when we have decent cover, and as @AndAnotherThing.., thought yesterday that the tracks he photographed might be mine (but were not), but were in a sector behind Monetier, see route link below, which I've not skied for a good few years.
One for @AndAnotherThing.., which is where he took the photo of but from the Monetier piste side.
And another benefit of a good base in the valley is that it will help the cross-country, which although is in glorious condition, could have a deeper base to offset potential thaws.
And this morning I was out on the tough red back from Le Casset which has a rather intimidating climb, and then back in Monetier, bumped into my neighbour, an ESF XC instructor and she was teaching (Classic) to two Irish folks out here for a month staying in Briancon, and they were loving it.
Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

@gilo, what's the minimum length you would like to use, and how much do you weigh, just that the OH has some mounted on her Scott Realms.
So sort of lost track as we've had a few knee deep powder mornings, and having to look back at my Strava diary to remind myself what we've done
Friday after a hard XC session the day before took it easy and went up the hill with a mate and we took in Peyra Juana for coffee as well as Pi Mai, so very relaxed, except there was zero viz coming back out of Monetier, in fact they closed Yret & Cibouit not because of high winds/avy risk but because of the viz, now that seems to be all part of the new H&S protocols as I've never known them close for bad viz, you just suck it up and instigate Rule Number 5 !
Coming off Eychauda lift and skiing back down to Cucumelle my mate who I thought was sticking to me like glue was not there when I got to Cucumelle chair, and then appeared a good ten mins later, which was a major concern, as he's very weak after many a chemo session and whilst a good skier does not have the strength to get up that easily in soft snow, which he found himself in after getting confused which side of the poles was the actual piste, which I suppose does go to show what the viz was like
Then at the top of Vallons it was really bad there and he managed another tumble, but this time he could get up easily due to the gradient.
And then around 150m further down we were in nigh on sunshine which was most bizarre after what we'd been skiing in.
So another coffee stop at the Pi Mai.
Then Friday evening was a big FNC at the Plein Sud, and then six of us had a disastrous/diabolical meal at the
Le Tryptique, Chantmerle, which I think deserves a mention here, as I've always regarded it as one of the best in the valley.
We think it was because we were on the later 21:00 sitting as we've not encountered the truly horrendous service that we endured that evening. And a good friend who owns a hotel in Chantmerle frequented by many a Brit, said she'd heard similar reports about the later service.
We can only think the manager left the premises after the 19:00 setting leaving two young girls to manage things. By 22:00 there were a fair number of locals who had come in some worse for wear/stoned and a few inter social rucks occurred, not exactly the ambience one would expect.
Further Edit
Some of you may have heard about our seriously bad experience at the Tryptique last Friday at 21:00. Tonight I bumped into Fabienne (Tim's lady) and her daughter Lorraine, and told them how bad it was, considering in the past I rate it as one of the best in the valley. They told me how one of the partners (front of house) lost his father on the Tuesday before, and how he had gone to Paris on the Friday for the internment, so that might explain it a little, though not quite everything; it was nigh on a case of the school teacher being out of the class and the kids running riot!
Friday / Saturday overnight we had another 10cms or so, more up the hill, and Saturday we went up the hill with @KenX, who unfortunately witnessed a family domestic where I threw my rattle out of the pram at the OH and daughter, but then a couple of hours later (it was my daughters last ski day) I was taking her down some reasonably gnarly stuff in the trees, and I should have added (said I couldn't recall all I'd done) that the day before after the coffee piste skiing we did a little ski tour with all the dogs and managed some fun turns.
Happy family
Then this morning was up early to take daughter to meet SnowCab, and then I went and did first lifts, and then later hooking up with a friend showing him some of the finest Serre Che slack country.
And then it was all going so well, before on the way back down I realised I didn't have my wallet with me, though something was telling me I didn't take it with me, but I could not find it back at the apartment, so could only think that when we were skinnig we took our jackets off and maybe it fell out ?
So I went back up the hill and retraced the route, but to no avail, and then back near Pointless I bumped into the Police Municipal I know and reported it.
And then back in the apartment had another look, and then found it in my trousers I wore earlier taking daughter to the bus, so said my brain has been fuzzy of late
I went XC skating this morning from Pointillas up past Le Casset and back, though the skis didn't like gliding in the cold temps and cold loose snow on the freshly groomed piste, and was really hard work, so hopefully not knackered for tomorrow.
Once back came across a handful of British Army dudes practicing their Ski Mo transitions with really light gear which will be in the Olympics this year, and as ever in most Olympic disciplines the gear used for racing bears no resemblance to what is used more generally.
They're racing tonight from Pre Chabert to Bachas, so will be interesting given the conditions.

^ It was hosing down earlier in Montgenevre, we snowshoed up to a yurt in the forest for a fondue this evening and it was properly blizzarding (im not sure that’s really a verb). Quite windy though so only a couple of inches on the van in three hours, but I suspect there will be some really deep stuff in the trees and gully’s tomorrow. The ESF guy who was out with us was saying this snowfall would create a ‘significantly elevated’ avi risk, so I’ll be in the trees tomorrow.

Bottle of rosé nigh on covered, if this keeps up wouldn't be surprised if there's nigh on a resort lock down.
Have to remember it's been many a year since we've had a dump like this could be (if it continues), and many of the more experienced technical managers (resort infrastructure & not just lifts piste control) have retired and been replaced by people with a different set of responsibilities etc
Wait and see what happens, will be interesting.
Good night
PS I do have a cunning plan
You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.
You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.
The plan was initiated at 07:30 this morning, though with a few delays, such as digging my way out of the apartment, and then wading though 50-60cms of snow, and putting the skins on the skis to then walk to the start of the climb, which was really tough.
The plan was to get up before the lifts opened and get first tracks......
Luckily, they had pisted a small chemin/trail from Pointillas, and I was able to use that to skin, as the deep snow was nigh on impossible, and I think I would have packed after only a short while. The trail was actually the Frejus green, which wound its way through the trees.
I was quite paranoid that they would bash the main piste whilst I was climbing, and in fact I met a piste basher on the way up, which you can see in the video. But fortunately, that was not the case, and I had fresh tracks all the way.
However, the snow was not uber light, and I had to nigh on straight-line it, but managed more than a few face-shots.
Once back down, I took Pointless back up, and there was a fair amount of carnage with people skiing (attempting) to ski both on and off the piste, as in many places it was nigh on the same
I gave up after that, as the snow was way too heavy to be enjoyable. Tonight, with the clear sky, hopefully some of the moisture will be sucked, which is often the case.
The purpose of the "plan" was to ski-tour and video as I'm currently testing a North Face Summit Series Verbier Jacket, putting me and the jacket under duress, as it were.
Hopefully, if you have the patience, you'll appreciate the commentary and explanation(s) of what I'm doing, along with the face shots
Not the report I was hoping for today after watching the webcam. I guess it was too warm? Im coming out on Monday. Hopefully things soften up by then. More snow expected next week.

Hi all, I'm looking at booking a week in Serre Chevalier, the start of which would overlap with the Grand Prix Serre Chevalier (20-22nd March, with the main day Saturday 21st?). Does anyone know how much the Grand Prix affects the area? I'm assuming there will be closed pistes on the Saturday, and longer queues all weekend, but I can't find a map of the course to confirm. I'd be arriving too late to actually take part in the event, but I would like to ski on Saturday afternoon if possible, and definitely on Sunday. Thanks!

We have had many holidays in Serre Che and love to read these posts. This year, however, we opted to give Valloire a try. Imagine our jealousy, waking this morning to read you had got 60cm to our 10-15cm. But it is light and fluffy and we have had more light snow falling since 4ish so expect to see another 10 to 15 in the morning. Not a season saver but will complete our week nicely. Enjoy tomorrow.

The snow didn't feel that heavy to me... but it was a lot of it at once, so today was definitely hard work on any remotely shallow slope, especially for a relatively novice powder skier like myself.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person
Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person
@AndAnotherThing.., it was more akin to a March snowfall in that by 10:00 below 2,000m it was heavy.
My first pitch/line I ski I was nigh on straight-lining and you can see from the snow I'm kicking up it was not cold "blower" powder, even then, and that was just after 09:00!
I know I'm being incredibly fussy, and certainly can't and will not complain as this is the base that will hopefully last the season, so it will be interesting what conditions are like up the hill tomorrow, though that will depend on what lifts eventually opened today, and how much of an over-night-suck will occur, if we get a clear sky.
"Wait and See" as my old guide mate used to say.......
Good meal and attentive service tonight in the La Manouille 19:00 sitting, so good booked for Feb 16th

How was the snow today? Seems like more on the way next week. The off piste guiding offices have replied to my inquiries stating the current conditions are fantastic though that was prior to tuesdays snow.

Superb piste conditions and lots of people off piste with the snow seemingly much more ski-able after a days settlement.
That said the current avi situation is scary. We watched a boarder kick off a reasonable slide and his mate then came down the same line. 10 minutes later a second group had kicked off the rest of the crown wall, complete with avy bag inflates and lost skis. The whole Cibouit face above Monetier went although I'm not sure on the context. I'm fairly sure the lift was running when we passed in the morning and there were plenty of tracks... Hopefully everyone is safe and it was part of the standard avi control.

Interesting morning skiing the usual stashes, though was having to straight-line some pitches that we'd normally put far more turns in such was the depth of the snow.
They'd obviously been a lot of blasting going on, judging by the number of visible slides everywhere.
After a fair number of runs OH and @KenX, talked me in to breaking trail to put the traverse in that gets us to a rather nice line, and it was hard graft in the deep snow, I also deliberatley put a bit of a gradient in around a couple of rocks to make it less snowboard friendly, but that later on didn't stop one nearly taking @KenX, out.
Think we managed three or four stress-free lines before others cottoned on to our line, but even then, we managed a couple more sneaky lines that, unless you know how to get to them, are not obvious.
I also had words with one guy with no backpack, he said he had a transceiver so I asked him where was his shovel then, and with that he turned away, acknowledging that was the best of course of action, and all really ironic as all morning I had my eye on one of my favourite lines that involves a 20 or so min skin.
So after a coffee break I headed up there on my own, and just as I'd put one skin on a pisteur securiste came up behind me and basically advised me very strongly against what I was planning to do, I'd already see one massive slide of the Crete de Balme that had covered about 20 tracks, though that was far more risk prone terrain than where I was planning to go, plus (heuristic trap) I knew my line was relatively safe.
We had a good long talk, turned out both her parents are Irish, and I explained that I've known her boss for well over 16 or so years, and we bizarrely cross paths ski touring well away from the resort.
But I acknowledged what she was asking and I agreed that I would not go up there today, not least that others may follow, taking other lines that were more risk prone. She also said how one of the team was swept away on a slide to the right side of the Eychauda drag, when they were scoping it out earlier, which is also quite incocuous terrain in terms of gradient.
That was also the reason the Mea drag was closed today.
She did say that whilst it was not interdit to do what I was planning, and that if it was my wish and I was to proceed, she could not stop me, which is the fundamental difference between France and North America.
God only knows what she thought of the old English fart
Though I'd like to think her boss would actually be a tad positive about me

It was indeed a great day. Lots of easy fun (I'm no powder expert) with relatively few tracks at first around the (closed) Serre Pelat drag, and in and out of the trees between the various Briançon reds. The Bois des Coqs trees were also fun.
On piste, some pistes were nastily chopped up (Fangeas and the top of Saludes were probably the worst), with lots and lots of usually harmless tumbles to be seen. Some quieter pistes were very enjoyable, though (Petit Alpe and Eduits in particular).

Just measured 13cm of overnight fresh on the table on the terrace, and still snowing.
Up early as early bird etc though again today it's the ski-test up at Monetier, so want to get up there early to try some more boots, and that is quite a faff, then hopefully still get first lifts with @KenX.
Was very busy up there yesterday, and not just because of the test, following on from what everyone was saying was another busy weekend, maybe the weekenders were getting one last AirBnB trip in before everything is booked solid for the next four weeks and reverts back to Sat/Sun transfers maybe?
On the Sunday I did a great tour up behind Monetier, and it's a good example of just how good the snow cover is at the moment as I've not been able to do that tour for around 7 years !!!
In the photo below, you can see the Chapel St Anne on the ridge, and then how rammed the parking was as it was the FWT.
Then the Saturday was more pounding of the XC some 18km this time from here up and around and beyond Le Casset, though the fresg snow was just a wee bit of a struggle skating even though they had pisted it well, and bumped into a Swedish mate out eating the Km's and we both said that we should have an excellent XC base now till April unless we get any freaky sustained thaws.
Ski test yesterday we were ripping the Clot Gaillard which was pisted and in excellent condition all the way, which is most unusual, and the game was to get enough speed up to avoid any poling on the flat section, which I din't quite manage 100%.
Looking forward still very unsettled and forecast and accumulations as ever keep changing with wildly different forecasts!

Great to hear there is some good snow ahead of our trip! Interesting that it’s the first time in 7 years you’ve been able to do that tour @Weathercam,
We have only skied at Easter over the last 17 years (always picking high resorts but expecting thaw low down) but friends who always ski at half term have had very little snow over the past few years.
