Despite the growing numbers of off-piste users in France, the national avalanche bulletin from Meteo France is still only published in French. The web address to find it is also pretty damn long !

So, in order to make things just a little easier for people this winter I started tweeting a summary of the avalanche forecast for Chamonix about two weeks ago. I tweet it every evening for the following day, and other snow info that people might find useful. Anyone interested just needs to follow @AvalancheAcad on Twitter.

For those of you not on Twitter, we have also linked this bulletin to our Facebook page Avalanche Academy.

And finally, for those who want the detailed forecast for any French Region or who have spared their lives the constant deluge of info from Social Networking sites, we also have a link directly to the Meteo France Bulletin on our homepage http://www.avalancheacademy.com .

We hope this will keep you all in the powder, and out of the headlines this winter. Bonne ski....
