ExpertLuca op 25 December 2013 路 17:40at 2 o'clock the new snow was about half a meter maybe even more. lots of tree action, and not so little crowded as one can expect during christmas day... i hit some spots that I and few other people know and the powder was one meter minimum!! the snow of the last snowfall was still untouched: REALLY deep!!
unfortunately it was a little bit wet... 0 degrees at 1800m
but there is a lot more to come this night!! -
Touristmeteomorris op 25 December 2013 路 22:02@Luca, tomorrow will be colder and super deep!!
-
ExpertLuca op 25 December 2013 路 23:54@meteomorris! cheers man!
right now it's dumping really hard. another half a meter maybe more!
tomorrow it will be deep! -

Beginnershreddy_krueger op 27 December 2013 路 15:59I hope you are right morris, because the conditions in the Northern Alps, especially in the East, really suck!
Right now it feels more like spring than winter, we are in bad bad need of a Nordstau 馃榾 -

ExpertLuca op 27 December 2013 路 19:36@meteomorris i didn't look at the webcam because i was too stoked staring at my window ahaha today has been pretty epic lots of snow in the woods. tomorrow i'll hit some higher woods / open field. today was pretty warm but luckily i didn't see any avalanche.
@KlasRydstrand sorry but i didn't noticed your message yesterday, hope you found good snow today! tomorrow weather won't be the best unfortunately... -
AdvancedKlasRydstrand op 28 December 2013 路 17:41Thanks @Luca it was deep and a bit wet heavy on the Alagna side yesterday. Seems like the snow has settles more today. By the way; we're thinking about maybe getting a guide a day or two next week. Any recomendation? We talked to the Lyskamm office but I just wanted to check with you as well. Thanks in advance!

ExpertChester_Tartsnatcher op 28 December 2013 路 17:55Sergio Gabbio is a great guy and guide for Alagna, a longtime local:

AdvancedKlasRydstrand op 28 December 2013 路 18:04Thank's a million @Chester_Tartsnatcher I'll have a look at those links!

Beginnershreddy_krueger op 28 December 2013 路 19:19@enne: My homebase is in Upper Austria, near Wels, where are you from?
We are on the wrong side of the Alps 馃榾 The south is performing and the north suffering 馃槥
GFS ENS for the Northern Alps East are just making me sad, no big dump insight, but maybe a small event starting from next weekend... -
ExpertLuca op 29 December 2013 路 15:43@KlasRydstrand sorry but yesterday i injured myself hitting hard a rock under my knee... if you need a guide i can recommend you matteo boffi, he's a friend of mine and he's a really experienced guy even if he's young. you can call him at 3395635629
if you're staying in gressoney you can call Francesco, another nice guide, at 3488144942
but if you have the chance ski with gabbio, he's a legend around here
hope you will have great trips! -
Advancedjazzman op 7 January 2014 路 13:42Hi guys, this winter is killing me, I must go skiing soon or I´ll go nuts!!
Since I am from Spain and my economy is no good, I was thinking to go to the Pyrenees instead of the alps next week. I think there is some snow comming on Sunday-Monday but I am not sure how much nor how it will be the rest of the week. If I cannot score good powder, I will remain with my head inside the freezer 馃槈
Thank you all for your good advices and for feeding the stoke!!
Morris, your forecasts are incredible, keep it up.
I´ve added some tips for the val d´Herens and the pyrenees. Hope you find them usefull. -
Advancedjazzman op 7 January 2014 路 13:55By the way, Revelstoke rocks!!
I can see the video in youtube, but the link posted at the end www.wepowder.com/helispost doesn´t work... -
Advancedjazzman op 7 January 2014 路 16:41... I got it, it only works if you enter through www.wepowder.nl if you do it through .com , it says that the page does not exist anymore... I guess I will have to use google translation... it sucks..
-
AdvancedNiels op 7 January 2014 路 22:38@jazzman in the current pattern 5+day predictions are really unstable. Indeed something seems to happen those days in the Pyrenees, but the models did not agree yet. It might also just miss the Pyrenees, or hit it harder.
I guess there is more clarity by the end of the week. Until that time, I suggest you keep your freezer on stand by, just in case. -
Advancedjazzman op 7 January 2014 路 22:48Keep me posted, even a small trip requires some planning and I should be travelling on sunday!
Thanks, you guys are great. -
Advancedtelemikey op 8 January 2014 路 12:35For the Gresonney locals: my son had a sweet lady ski teacher in Zermatt last februari who was from Gresonney (I think). She invited me to come freeride with her some time. I think she did the commute from Z'matt to Gresonney by ski? -

From Zrm@ to Gressoney isn't too much work. The return would be a bit of a climb.
As for snow now, I'm seeing a front crossing the Atlantic, possibly swinging too far North for a good dump. What's the forecast? -
Touristmeteomorris op 9 January 2014 路 08:02Chester_Tartsnatcher , new forecast is coming..
-
ExpertLuca op 9 January 2014 路 08:31@telemikey you can go to zermatt from gressoney but you must have some good skinning skills and you must know the grenz glacier... it's sort of a high route; it's nice in spring because you can do the monte rosa tour (gressoney-zermatt-cervinia-champoluc) but i don't think it's the best idea in winter... if you wanna go to zermatt you can go by car to cervinia and then just skiing the slopes you can reach zermatt
-
Advancedjazzman op 9 January 2014 路 09:28Tons of snow for the pyrenees, even more than for the alpes. La Mongie will receive 25/35 cm on monday...
-
Advancedtelemikey op 9 January 2014 路 10:17@Luca, I wasn't planning on doing it at all. It was the ski teacher who told me that this was the way she (sometimes?) commuted from Zermatt to Gressoney.
BTW I told her about wePowder and that I had heard of Gressoney that way and she was pretty enthusiastic that I'd heard about it.
