 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
Just after some opinions on what La plagne could be like on the last week of the season? 15-21st April. Its not my first choice of resort but is now looking the best option. Do you think the resort will be mostly open?
Thanks

stacetop, and who will win the FA cup, or the Grand National, or will there ever be a decision on the new runway for London . . . ?
When kids were younger and still at home, we used to go to skiing every Easter. We did La Plagne Easter 1998 to 2003, 2008 and 2009. Never had a bad time.
And from the thread mentioned by letsgetpiste, skichampcouk wrote on April 18:"Some lovely powder snow this morning after yesterday's rain / snow, up to about 10 cms in places with the fresh snow level down to around 1800 metres on the south facing slopes. It started snowing again around lunchtime today with up to another 10cms forecast for tonight and it is currently snowing at 1250 metres in Champagny".
And on May 1st he wrote:"During the last week of the season there was still plenty of snow around and in excellent condition considering how late in April it was".
So, you should be fine for April 15-21, but you never can tell . . .

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@stacetop, if you have a choice I'd suggest Belle Plagne as the highest LP 'village' with best access to the upper slopes without longish queues at that time of year - and with a good chance of ski-in / ski-out

Agree with Dubaian: Belle Plagne is where we stayed.
(until we took to staying with Commander Condon in Les Charmettes - by the way: where is the Commander? Last seen here April 2015.
Rumour has it he was promoted to Admiral, but that's no excuse . . . )

@stacetop, I was there last year at that time and cover was brilliant and the weather was too, we had blue bird days a powder day to boot which topped everything up nicely, when we left they had another decent dump a couole of days later so there is always the chance you will if lucky get the same conditions fingers crossed.
