Hey Guys,

So, counting down the days now - 19 (Thanks Ally!)

As per usual I'm commencing my pre-ski panic about weather and snow, it's nothing new I do it every year regardless of month/snow/resort - it adds to the anticipation, sort of!

Anyway, does anyone know of a decent long range forecast site - I'm fully aware of the accuracy of these things as even the 7 day forecast changes but it would nice to get an idea of the general trending weather.

I'm off to Les Gets, it's low but great at the moment. One site I checked last night showed 11 degrees in 10-14 days time though which started me off....I suspect an anomaly and highly unlikely but all the same it's given me the heebygeeebies....

Anyway, any hints for a Long Range site appreciated.

It won't have all melted by the time you get there.
Don't fret.

'Fret' is my middle name when I start my 3 week countdown - -)

It's nervous excitement - all good.

Forecast can be accurate in the mountains for a day or two at most. Relax you will be fine.
When in doubt?....Flat out.

I'm going away 7th March, absolutely no concerns from me about weather and I tend to worry too much. Chill

Thanks for the replies guys, it was all a bit tongue in cheek as weather is, well, weather and is what it is.

Back to my post though does anyone know of a decent long range forecast site or are they all similar in your opinion? I tend to google it and go with it, most of them are members only for+7 days.

Meteo France has a 14 days outlook. Basically big snow for the next 10 days then then clear and sunny for a few days. With all of N Alps due to get well in excess of 50m during that period, anyone with plans for March should have no concerns. Just booked a week with a guide for Mid April, we are only at 1/2 point of season.
