 Poster: A snowHead
|
Assuming snow holds out, looking to escape sans enfants for a long weekend in first week April - mind you the shock of getting away with just the two of us for the first time in 5 years will probably kill us!
Any one know of any reasonable hotels around 3 Vallee area which charge daily - don't mind staying in one of the satellite villages St Martin, Brides les Bain etc

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

Boris, you like soggy snow? And slogs up to what's left of the good stuff? Possible to strike it lucky, of course, but personally I wouldn't count on anywhere in the 3V below Val T if you're fixated on good snow. Also, staying in St Martin et al at that time of year will involve seriously long hikes to the decent snow (probably Val T anyway).
What's with the fixation on 3V?

Manda, you really think that? 1st week in April has as much potential for decent snow as most of the season does.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Which planet are the 3V's you are talking about on? Manda. I've only visited the Earth one.

We've had some epic days in late april in the 3Vs - okay the lower runs are out, but you do get a great suntan and there's hardly anyone around.
One of our best days ever was skiing off the back of La Masse, and lunching by Lac de Loup. At one point so many crocuses were poking though the snow we couldn't avoid skiing over them

Manda, Mainly looking at 3V as a known quantity, been there several times before so won't waste time wondering where to go etc.
As others have mentioned, we have also skied 3V well into April with some fantastic skiiing on empty runs - granted there is no powder anywhere though.
BTW thanks to all the SH who have PM'd with offers of accommodation
