Chamonix weather forecast snow report from Henry's Avalanche Talk

HAT talks Season kickoff!!

"Our official public talks begin on Sunday 16th December 2007 and are
regular Sundays 6-7.30pm at the MBC (Micro Brasserie de Chamonix).
On top of the excellently presented off-piste safety information, there will
be meal deals, beer-deals and goodies for attendees.

A brilliant partner venue for Henry's Avalanche Talks, serving their
own-brew beers, the MBC is located just up the valley from the Chamonix
center at 350 Route de Bouchet (RN 506, direction Argentiere and Martigny,
Switzerland). The MBC is on the right side of the road opposite the Chamonix
skating rink and pool."

Big Snow Forecast

Just called into the Météo France 7 day forecast for the Northern Alps. They are very confident that a big storm is moving in for this weekend (Saturday through Tuesday). It sounds like a classic big storm with winds predicted to come in from the west then north-west. The rain/snow limit is predicted to be from 1300m to 2300m which is a bit wet, but at least it will be snowing up high!

Over the last week the HAT Team has been on the road promoting and presenting our new production 'Ride Hard ! Ride Safe' in Val d'Isère, Tignes Méribel and Chamonix. Further big events include our HAT Kick-off staff meeting in Val d'Isère this weekend where the whole HAT Team will be present and a party in Dicks Tea Bar with a FREE viewing of 'Ride Hard ! Ride Safe' for seasonal staff (please call Dicks to reserve 04 79 06 14 87 leave your name with Becca). See you soon! Henry

It has begun.

So its begun and with first early season snow fall(12th-14th Nov) coming thick and heavy the excitement is almost overwhelming.   

So much so that Some of the Hat team members took a bit of a hike and where rewarded with surprisingly good snow(see our Chamonix gallery).Around 50 cm came over a few days but as soon as the clouds lifted the wind began, redepositing snow quickly.This is definitely something that should be kept in mind as I'm sure after the next snow fall a lot more of you will be heading out for some touring action. Remember--grip it and rip it--Safely.
