Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... 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 :-)

Markw, welcome to snowHead snowheads snowHead. One of our regular posters easiski is an instructor in LdA. Stick around and you'll get some help. Meantime, here's an earlier thread on glacier skiing

Mark you need to get there early as its slushy by 11am. The bottom half is like skiing on a giant wet ice-cube but not difficult if you're an intermediate. Only open till 1pm. Also, its cold up there so layers are needed.

Markw, went last Summer and SKied with Easiski. Best option as she knows where the best snow is.;-)and you get priority on the T-bars so no queueing. It didn't really get slushy until 12.30 or so and we skied until about 1-1.30. We met her in the town and she took us to get skis and boots, she'd already bought our passes, then we got the lift up, stopped at the restaurant for a coffee to adjust to the altitude, then the lesson started. Cold to start with, lift opens as early as 7am (but we met up at 8am) . A wierd feeling coming back down at lunchtime to baking hot temperature though. We'll probably do it again sometime.

2 Alpes is one of my favourite resorts. No shortage of things to do after the morning's skiing is over in the summer. The Jandri lift usually opens at 7.30am - big queues then, with all the race teams on their way to the glacier to train. But as Helen says, you just walk past them all if you've booked private lessons with easiski.
