 Poster: A snowHead
|
Has anyone been to this resort late season ? Was thinking of going on the 11th of March and keep hearing
things like sunny and south facing and .. hmmm .. sunny. Just wondered if it gets a bit dodgy around the middle of March especially as it's a tad south. I'm also reading claims about good snow record but then again all resorts seem to claim this.

monty, I wouldn't call 11th March late season. ADH is open until the end of April and I have found excellent skiing conditions (incl possibly my best powder day ever) in that month so mid-March should be fine.
There may be some parts of the area which are getting a bit bare then (eg the Auris area and the very low stuff) but that's by no means definite.

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

We went last Easter and the only runs closed were the blacks right at the top of the mountain, and the were only closed in the mornings because they were too icy. Wouldn't think there'd be a problem at the start of March.

We went a week later. lower slopes weren't problems gets heavy in the afternoon. I felt they were being v protective about letting people up on glacier the week before easter

monty, Lower slopes can get a bit slushy in the afternoons but generally conditions are normally good in March. We have availability in our Chalet on the 11th of March if you are interested have a look at our website www.skialacarte.co.uk and PM for a special snowheads price!

Thanks for the quick responses. You know what it's like when you only get one week a year skiing. It makes you a bit twitchy about anything potentially going wrong.

monty,
Im going the same week - had the same worries as your self but it does appear that apart from the icy morning - slushy afternoon phenomenon, there is not too much risk about that time of year. Snow record is favourable and altitude is pretty decent.
I went in mid to late Feb a few years ago and high winds and snow closed the blacks at the top so you never can tell.
When the sun is shining everyone skis better anyway so a bit of freeze-thaw aint too much to worry about. And less queueing.....happy days - roll on mid-March!!
