Buying powder Alagna Valsesia

Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. When you register, you get our free weekly -ish snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in Username:- Password:. Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. Hi, just on the verge of booking a guided week in Alagna, anyone been, or have experiences to share? Certainly reads well on the website, but then they all do! Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? Can't comment personally pre-convert days! You need to Login to know who's really who. Lots of interesting routes available, some of which end with what our guide called 'summer roads' but which were actually steep footpaths through the woods. I'd go again - and heli-ski if possible. Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. Alagna is part of Monte Rosa ski area. When we went we stayed in Gressoney - but Alagna is also good. It has great off piste - freeride, touring and heli. It is good to get a guide because a lot of it is far from the piste. If you can afford it, do a heli drop - the experience is amagzing! You can do a one day trip where they drop you off between Castor and Pollux i think and you then ski down the Swarztor to Zermatt great run! You'll need to Register first of course. But I think quite a lot of the terrain will require skinning or boot packing? Then you can post your own questions or snow reports Alagna is one of the beat places in the Alps for going offpiste when they have a decent snow year. Last time they had was in but the good news is that it is a good snow year this year. So many routes to do and awesome terrain so a guide should have few problems finding new interesting lines every day. Some of the routes are really extreme. There is a guidebook you can buy called polvare rosa or something and is well worth a buy. Have an awesome week, sure you will enjoy it!!! After all it is free. It's a fabulous place for off piste. I skied there a few years ago before they took down the ancient cable car, the run down from there is probably in my top 10 of favourite places to ski; really must go back. The cable cars access a lot of terrain; route finding is not always simple and some of it is pretty steep - it's an ideal place to go with a guided group. Woosh , yes, was also going to mention that book, probably available in the local shops. For maps I'd try and get hold of the Swiss ones that cover it, the local IGM ones are not all that reliable. You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. But my question remains, 'powder' or 'off-piste' Ski the Net with snowHeads. If someone books a trip to ski off piste then I guess they go off piste? If it snows then you get powder, if not then you ski what you find. Whether or not you ski powder is dependent on the weather, how far you are prepared to hike and a lot of luck. Those that thought it rubbish assumed it was all going to be soft and fluffy, cos that's all the piccies show. And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. I've been to Alagna several times and love the place. So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. You should definitely book. Great terrain with a guide and they have loads of snow. Very atmospheric. Absolutely nothing not to like! Also some of the best food in the Alps I reckon. You know it makes sense. Quote: Also some of the best food in the Alps I reckon. And possibly the cheapest too. Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. Great, Thanks for the replies. One concern I have is how much hiking will be needed. I am reasonably fit and have had some lengthy treks but i use downhill bindings and have not used skins. Told prob' not needed though. Getting excited now.. Last I hear it was the other way round? We haven't been up either in a couple of weeks I thought that area was doing pretty well this year. The Dolomites have really come off best but snow in Alagna should be OK. Short answer, no. Long answer, sort of, if you buy or hire 'trekker' bindings that clip in to your regular bindings and allow you to release the heel. Never used these, people who have say not to bother, better to hire skis with touring bindings if it turns out you need them. Touring is no harder than hiking except you'll likely be at altitude and the gear weighs a bit more , if your guide suggests it and you can hire the gear I would recommend giving it a go, with a bit of expert tuition it's very easy to pick up. However, if you are going in the near future the weather forecast would seem to suggest you won't need to hike to find fresh snow. Things have certainly improved since the Scgb forecast yesterday. That seemed to think that there was no new snow coming and as the area had gone 2 weeks with no fresh snow it wasn't looking great. France was expecting 50cms this week! So it seems that snow is coming and a lot! The Monterosa area is blissfully quiet compared to Cham, St Anton and the like. All booked up, leave on Saturday. There was just one space left, sharing a room so worked out well. Looks like a metre of new coming this week as well. Its a freshtracks trip, see how things go , Thanks for all the feedback Dave. Ski safe. Back in one piece, had a great week! Well over a metre of fresh, Avi risk at 5 and police checking skiers had avi safety gear etc. Saw and heard avalanches but thankfully no reports of any casualities! Is that Boris in your clip skivolo ,? If Avalanche risk was a 5, the resort would have been on shut down. SkiingQuinHat , not necessarily.

We were playing catch Boris all week! Hi - i will be in Alagna, skiing for 3 days, Friday 6 - Sunday 8 Feb If you are there at that time, i'd be keen on splitting the cost of a guide?
