Just back from Val d'Isere, skiing on Sunday 10 to Sunday 17 April. For the first days we had powder snow. In the middle, spring snow. Then a huge dump of snow on friday night and saturday morning. Saturday had so much new soft but wet snow that skiing was difficult. Often just bogging down with skis pointed straight down the fall line. Poling to move downhill seems wrong to me but we did it! Sunday had a little more new snow over the previous fall but it was all lighter and we skiied lots of ungroomed pistes with deep powder plus some lovely bits just off the pistes.
Some of the pistes were patchy before the recent snow falls. On thursday and friday snow was being moved by lorry from the road between Fornet and Pont St Charles to fill up gaps around the nursery slopes. Hopefully the new snow should keep the pistes good for much of the rest of the season.
Off piste. Lots of options. The spring skiing was good. There were many clean slopes available. The new snow will take some days to transform back to sping conditions. Also there was a lot of explosives work by the Val d'Isere pisteurs and it may be a while before avalance risk drops. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE, only ski off piste with good guides. I skied with Alpine Experience and I reccommend them.
