Poster: A snowHead
|
Got a week planned 21st March but can't decide whether to plump for 3v staying in Menuires or go to Cervinia - as want the best possible snow, and preferably avoid skiing in puddles.
Did a week at the end of Jan in Arcs 2000 and the snow was epic.
Any thoughts or suggestions greatly received.

well, both pretty high (Cervinia a bit higher.), but Cervinia has the highest ski point of the two. My choice would be Cervinia..

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

Obviously, coverage varies season by season but Cervinia has a great snow record last few years. Haven't been to Cervinia for a few months but tonnes of snow reported there at the moment.

@Mandal, welcome to Snowheads. I'd wait a bit and see how the weather pans out the next week or so.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Mandal, I was in Cervinia for half term. Totally dumped with snow. Lots of powder and no queues.....they were all in Zermatt! It's still been snowing there this week. I am total saddo & have been checking. On plus side you're going lower season so I reckon Zermatt skiing will be great too. I'm def planning on going back at some point, plus the people themselves were loads friendlier than the French. We had a great time. I'm already looking into Italy again for a short break the end of this month!

@malarkey99, that makes two of us. Cervinia should still have good skiing in April at this rate.

Don't know about the others but Cervinia has had good snow this year - better than us just over the ridge in Zermatt. 21 March should still be fine but as it is South facing spring skiing can get soft even though it is high.

It is natural to assume Cervinia faces South but the borders are actually very convoluted. The think the slopes at Cervinia face west and hence have similar aspect as Sunnega and other west facing slopes in Zermatt.
