 Poster: A snowHead
|
Help from people on the ground please!
Leaving first thing tomorrow for Morillon but worried about lack of skiing for intermediates and one advanced member of group.
Are we better off driving to Les Gets each day and picking up the Portes du Soleil (22 mins according to google maps)?
Or going to megeve (post on here says poor snow coverage and stones?) which is 47 minutes away.
Or do we stick with Le grand massif with only 19 reds and no blacks open across the whole area?
Anyone currently out there, or recently returned please help with piste report.
Stick or twist? If twist, where?
Happy New Year
Thank you

@Snowsartre, the Grand Massif and Portes du Soleil threads are saying the same thing - getting worn in places, with stones, twigs etc. poking through. You might as well stick but buy day passes and do various day trips if you're worried that no one area has enough for the full duration of your holiday. There will be good bits and not so good bits in all of those areas.

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

Snowsartre, the Ardent bubble would be the place to drive to if you did fancy exploring the PdeS - rather than Les Gets itself

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I agree that entering the PDS via Ardent (or Les Prodains) is a better bet than Les Gets. The snow at Avoriaz is much better and worth the extra driving time vs Les Gets.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Ardent is better, it's free to park, the car park at Prodains is 5 euros per day. Also the queues to get back down if there isn't enough snow to ski down are worse at Prodains - we were there Christmas week.

As others have said - day passes are the way to go. Grand Massif and Les Gets/Morzine are very similar areas anyway, Morillon will give you easy access to Les Carroz, Samoens and Flaine - plenty to do for all... avoid off piste in Flaine though as its dangerous at the best of times, but with thin cover is very dangerous. The drive up the Les Get is about 20 mins (or Morinze about 25-30). There is also Praz de Sommand for a change for a day... about 25 mins (left turn of the Les Gets road), but the lifts are a bit slow.
