 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I'm looking to book a week skiing flying out on 21/12/14 for Christmas. Just wondering if anybody has been in resort this week and had a good time? Been looking at La Plagne, Les Arcs, Morzine etc but not a lot of snow about. Andorra looks like it has the most and needless to say the holidays to Pas De La Cassa have gone from the Crystal site. Any recommendations and anyone been about this week?

Obergurgl - Looks pretty good with more snow forecast over the coming week.
Ischgl also.

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

Cervinia?
I would avoid La Plagne and Les Arcs, they are having a truly terrible start to the season so far. Of course it could all turn round but you don't know.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

If you haven't booked already I wouldn't personally. Give it another month and it's likely that it will be much better.

Unless there is a serious dump in next few days, I'd be avoiding French resorts. For holiday weeks, high up areas like VT will be overrun by visitors from other resorts if weather stays mild. Even the Ski Club which is generally strongly optimistic about snow conditions have struggled to maintain their "glass half full" outlook.
Mayrhofen in Austria could be an option. Big ski area and looks like it could get some snow later in week.

I would def stay clear of the portes du soleil,morzine and Les gets are completely green with no snow at all on the slopes,avoriaz has about 7 pistes open and the conditions on them are not good,Saturday and Sunday was very busy,today there wasn't as many people up there but it's got even milder now and rocks are showing in a lot of places on pistes,if avoriaz is the only bit of the pds open for Xmas week it was chaos with everyone in the one small area

At present I wouldn't bother with France. The few places with some snow will be rammed. Reports from alberg are poor suggesting might be similar in Austria. It,s not a good year for Christmas skiing though if it doesn't get too warm might yet be some last minute snow. But freezing levels sadly look like being too high for artificial snow at lower levels in much of France and Austria.

Anybody been in Andora? They look to have most of the slopes open. Anywhere on the Grandvalira - Pas De La Casa, Soldeu, El Tarter looks ok. Would like to here from anyone who's out this week.

Might be worth looking into the French Pyrenees as well as Andora.
