Poster: A snowHead
|
I saw a picture of the glacier at Les Deux Alpes recently which appeared to show a lake at the lower end of the glacier. Having spent several happy summer weeks in LDA over the last 10 years this was a very depressing scene.
Has anyone got any more pictures of this ?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Probably better here (or in the Piste); Apres is for anything OTHER than snow and skiing

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

France had 4 glaciers that could be skied 365 days a year in the 1980s.
Today, in 2018, France has none. Zero. Nada.
The L2A glacier got battered by the boiling French summers of 2003, 2006 and 2018.

It's a meaningless comment. I've skied in June, July and August on Tignes glacier and it is only closed between the winter and summer holiday periods, as the resorts are closed and there aren't enough visitors to justify staffing it.
The Tignes glacier is closed at the moment because hurricane force winds blew the snow covering off. It's nothing to do with the warmth of the summer.
Global warming is real, but the Grande Motte is still normally skiable 365 days a year.

You are living in a dreamland, son.
Tignes has mostly melted away.
