Too warm?

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:47:18 GMT

I've seen the weather is predicted to get up to 16oC in Megeve, 14oC in Chamonix for at least a few days this week.

What effect will that have on the skiing?

Is that "end of" until a fresh snow fall, or nothing to worry about?

Unless you plan on doing your skiing "in Town" don't worry about the temps. It does generally get colder as you go higher. Plan to download to save your skis )

It means you will be lucky and possibly get a very good tan :twisted:

Don't forget to drink plenty of liquid if it does get warm, as you will perspire heavily in usual ski gear.

I haven't even contributed to this thread and my name has magically appeared.

I assume the picture is the same as that on the other thread about warm weather (not showing for some reason).

I'm packing a selection of bikinis and bobble hats.

The warm weather looks like going over this weekend with much colder stuff coming along but the suggested precipitation is fast disapearing from the forecast - pity, the slopes could have done with a bit of a freshener after the warm week.

It'll be great next week :thumbup:

Well, with temps like that the snow will be more like mushed potatoes, and on lower slopes it will start turning brown, boots will feel a bit weird, you can easily burn your face - don't forget sunblock and don't miss your ears when you apply it, if you have insulated jacket rather than a shell you will be too hot. Get up early and finish at noon - it will be much more pleasant at a sunny terrace than on slopes. It will be a bit cooler up in the mountain than in town, but not by much. If the town is deep in the valley (like Chamonix) it can be cooler in town. If this is not your vacation week consider yourself lucky:)

The slopes could do with some serious refreshment for a couple of weeks now, but somehow I suspect the next snowfall will be next season (an inch here and there doesn't count)

Four years ago, I was in 3V first week in March...we had a massive downfall.

Booked the same again this year, have faith!

Four years ago we had a very good season in terms of snow and three years ago it was exeptional - didn't stop snowing until June, but after last season I learned that it may not snow for week and weeks and then the season will be over. There is some snow forecast for Sunday, but given that the forecast changed in last 24 hours, I won't be holding my breath, I believe it when I see it:) Would be cool if this forecast snow will turn up to be a big storm that will last for few days, but all I know that at the moment it's not that great on slopes. My friend is teaching and I got a message from him half an hour ago saying he could think about at least dozen places he would rather be instead of slopes if he had a choice.

Yep I was in Verbs first week in April 2008 and the snow was superb. However, 2 weeks before the deals went crazy as they were struggling for snow. I booked and the snow fell!!!!!

If this is the case, have you ever considered moving?:)

At Easter in 2008 it snowed for 3 days. They had to open Le Chable lift at night because people in cars couldn't get up even with chains. Now I know why...:)

Yes, its a long term plan to actually )

We left just before Easter I think, roads were ok but there was decent amounts of snow falling down to 1500m before it turned to rain lower down. I did look at the webcam the week after and noticed it had all gone white.

I'd actually love to come back to Verbs.
