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 :-)

Roger C, yes the hotel/apt Sitelle although this is outdoors also the Marmottes - this is also outdoors but there is a new sports complex associated with this that may have an indoor pool. I think all the pools are outdoors though.

had a pm of redrunmarcus, asking me to update on weather conditions. Yesterday was gale force winds 50mph up top. Today cloudy and gloomy with a strong breeze, looks promising for some snow hopefully. Also the conditions of the bars are generally a good forecast beer flowing nicely!!! Toofy Grin Very Happy Very Happy . Damien (mr Blue) has his grand opening at la tourmente tonight.

redrunmarcus, last time I spoke to clive it seems that he's on the case with the sky. Boredsurfing, I know what your saying, not good timing to be going into a new venture, the euro has dropped a little more today. Sad I think its going to have a huge affect on mountain restaurants and the local bars.

That means that if quality catered chalets are the way to go someone will need some extra poppadoms this season.

Who is Damien by the way? Do we know him?

Mixed bag of weather today. Went down to Bourg and it was +12 then into Aime where it was +2 then up in Montalbert and it is +5 Puzzled Puzzled . The wind has died down now with a mixture of cloud and sun. Most of the snow in the bottom of the valley has gone Sad . But still plenty in the village Smile Smile .

This looks like the best place to ask this question.. even although it's a little off topic, all the la plagne experts are here!

going for a week in aime LP in March and we'll be arriving in resort around 2pm so by the time we all pick up skis etc it'll be about 3-3.30. still want to get an hour on snow that day so my questions are..

do they do a late afternoon lift pass (that would be worth getting for an hours skiing)?
are the lifties open to bribery to get up for one long run down Toofy Grin !?
any free lifts (i'm such a snowHead i'd even be happy messing about on greens for an hour)?
if i was to hike up somewhere from aime LP for one run where should i hike?

i feel i am about to be abused for hijaking this post... if so give me your best insults and i'll move it Embarassed !

Ok starter for 10 with some answers.

You can get a half day lift pass from 12.30 onwards. Lifts at that time close around 5pm so if you are quick you will get a few runs in. If you are staying in Aime La Plagne (sounds like you are?) you will be able to ski down to LP centre of you could even scoot across in the direction of Montalbert and still get the last lift back up.

In terms of bribing those lifties these days it is all electronic so no lift no ski I am afraid!

DrE, Easy no passes needed for the following, ski down to Plagne centre and then on down to 1800, get free ski bus up to Plagne Soleil or Plagne Villages ski back down to Plagne centre and then 1800 repeat until bored! When time to go home to Aime ski to Plagne Centre take of skis off walk through shops and get the free Tele bus back up to Aime 2k Very Happy

DrE, another idea would be to borrow somebody's lift pass as weekly or daily passes dont have any ID on them as long as you borrow a adult pass you would be ok. Its a good idea if there is somebody you know there already for the week or somebody leaving on there last day!.

DrE, If you study an on-line piste map there are several routes down to 1800 from Aime. One of quieter is down the Piste AndreMartzolf which has a lttle turning off to the right onto Farandole which goes down to 1800. But miss that turning and you end up in La Roche and it will be buy a lift pass time! Toofy Grin

Excellent advice guys, thanks for the info! Will definitely be taking that route down to 1800 and then up on the bus to Plagne villages and then the drag lift - sounds ideal. will be a good chance to blow the cobwebs off and get used to the fatter ski's i'm planning on getting Very Happy !

i better study the piste map well beforehand, and also take some money so that when the inevitable happens and i take a wrong turn and end up in montalbert thinking 'wow, that was a much longer run than i expec.... oh. damn.' - i can get back to aime!
