Snow for the Euros.

[subtle plague]

this first wave will hit tomorrow.

pray for the second one later this week because it might change for the worse again on Wednesday...

for those who are capable of speaking the new "euro debt crisis superpower language" everyone is complaining about: there should be a detailed forecast on powderguide.com today


KEEP ON DANCING, AL !!!!

^^ NICE.... going to check it out now

Hope this holds true for us.....

Giant, stubborn high pressures can turn a powder haven into more of a beach environment with sunny skies, warm temperatures and bikini tops. But there’s a silver lining (besides the female fashion): for high pressures to budge, it usually requires a whopper of a low-pressure system. After Sun Valley winced through a brutal six-week high pressure last February and March, the mountain was deluged with nearly five feet of powder in one week. Similarly, that 108-inch storm that buried Alta in late Nov. 2001, was preceded by one of the driest and warmest Novembers on record. Local lodges held meetings urging employees to spend Thanksgiving elsewhere, as there was no snow, guests, nor paychecks—and an ever-decreasing food supply. More so, local managers began whispering that when the high finally moved out, a mega storm cycle would likely follow. Turns out they were right. The Climate Prediction Center4 is a gem, offering a host of long-range forecasts.

If this 6 week high gets pushed off by some weak ass system that would be really sad .....

Probably going up to Kitz on Thursday with an out of towner just for fun.

Røldal : no lifts running, bad viz. But. Snow! And actually of decent quality and amount!
At the base ( there is about 30-40 cm of heavy glop but higher up there was close to 1m. Really bouncy snow that covered all the rocks, so the base is allready here!
The night might bring some extra 20-50cm if the predictions hold... That coupled with clear & cold weather for tomorrow... Oh yeah!

So where are you guys going this WE in the western Alps? I was thinking to hit Cervinia but I'm not even sure. I don't feel so much like pisten-carving....

[Alkares]

My friends in Norway.... SNOWWWWW! I gotta head up your way soon! Does anyone know of someplace I might be able to work, at a ski area or otherwise? I want to get in on what I missed last winter! 50cm in Stryn last night, and it's still dumping from the looks of it! Ahhh sooooo stoked!

Hiked up on a ridge till a 2800m peak yesterday by Les Marecottes. I was breaking through 1m deep snow drifts above 2400m at the very deepest spots. Down till 2000m the snow was 15-40cm deep. That was before this and this storm came in last night and the 2 more we have aligned for CH and France. Welcome back Ullr...

[Onward]

It's on in sogndal again:



And conditions are just as good in røldal

[Onward]

Meathelmet approves of røldal btw.

Does anyone have much experience of off piste/touring in Mayrhofen? Seem to be a few routes but finding the information is pretty hard to come by..

[Choucas]

I did a week of touring out of Lanersbach a few years back. That's a few miles up the valley towards Hintertux from Mayrhofen. Best off piste runs were the north facing slopes on the south side of that valley. Climbed the Hoher Riffler from the lifts at Hintertux. Skied off the back of that and hung a left on to a great long 1,000 meter vertical slope. I think there's some good stuff of the Ahorn lift right out of Mayrhofen but haven't been there.

Anyone got plans for this weekend that could allow for a tele-skier from the lowlands?

Have an appointment in Darmstadt on thursday, MIGHT be driving down afterwards.

So ski friday/ sat/ sunday then drive back. Want to hit up fresh snow so will follow the weather systems i.e. don't know right now which country but it looks like some nordstau will be in progress...

[subtle plague]

we (GF and me) will/may/might be around western ch or france or switz in general depending on the second wave that hits tonight. 50-80cm are possible It should dump enough to ski somewhere. The more west, the better.
Full detail report in German should be up on powderguide.com any minute now.

mid range forecast looks encouraging with more westerly weather and not too muc warmth on the way. BUT, it may switch to dry SW very easily depending on the central low near greenland.

KEEP ON DANCING AL!!

and keep up you Ullr sacrifices folks. It worked so far.
