Spring has Sprung
A quick look at the coming week's weather:
http://tagesanzeiger.ch/portal/wetter/php/index.php and we'll get some nice days - it was a cold winter. With the sun rising higher in the sky it should burn away the snow in the town inside two weeks if not a tad sooner. Sandals and t-shirt soon. -- Simon Brown www.hb9drv.ch www.laax.ch .. |

Well I'm off to Meribel on Satuday and though I'm not hugely pleased that
its gonna be so warm it will certainly be interesting having never skied (i hope this will still be possible at least!!) in such warm conditions. I still hold hope that winter might give us one more appearance though!! I see its going to be 22 degress (max) on saturday afternoon in brides les bains (near meribel). thats an average summer temperature where i come from (england). insanity! tom "Simon Brown" wrote in message ...

I'm off next Sat to La Grave - and we go around this time each year - only
problem is they've not had any decent snow falls since Jan - seemed to have missed out - that said we only really use La Grave as a base, if there is ample snow we stay there if not, as seems the case we day tour or arrange longer tours staying in refuges.....so as ever we have no real idea of what we'll be doing till we get there and conditions can change, though this damn High does look quite persistent - that said, I 've just been out and bought some short sleve dri fit T shirts for touring - me thinks we'll be doing the lower hikes in shorts etc till we get up on to glacier terrain then we'll have to be Capt sensibles.......next week's weather will make for some interesting ice slopes first thing in the am - be crampon time to get up them until they start softening up............and that's why as a snowboarder I use randonee ski boots to ride and tour in. |

very nice. The high is very stable, will be even warmer tomorrow. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/e...pressure.shtml -- Simon Brown www.hb9drv.ch www.laax.ch .. "WeatherCam" wrote in message ...

Just got back from St Anton, where it was snowing when we arrived, then spent the next 6 days in blazing sunshine, and was raining to over 3000m when we left. South facing slopes were very unstable, but the North faces offered up some great powder. - Dave. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow - Securing your e-mail |

... Did you get *any* skiing done this season? Sadly not - been travelling far and wide on business but hope to go skiing in August - Greenland. I hope to have a new customer in Greenland! Will be walking over Easter though - got the poodle here again. It's now so warm here that skiing is virtually impossible - massive avalanche warnings due to lots of heavy wet snow. Many people seriously injured themselves over the weekend. FWIW it's now 19C in the shade here, snow melting fast - 1m in the last week alone. So in fact it *is* t-shirt and sandals. -- Simon Brown www.hb9drv.ch www.laax.ch .. |
