Poster: A snowHead
|
Like most of us I am sure we keep an eye on webcams on the resort that we are due to visi5 and ones we have visited in the past. The difference this year in the snow compared to last year is huge and hopefully things are looking good for a great season.

Liking the sound of that!!
Went to Les Arcs in March last year and had no real snow problems then but (as well as Les Arcs again next March) I also have a lads' trip booked for Val D'Isere at the beginning of Jan so keeping a very keen eye on webcams and snow forecasts. They look very promising at the moment but don't really have anything to compare it to...

We went to La Clusazz last year and at this time last year there was virtually no snow cover at all. Off to La Rosiere in Feb and there is oodles of the white stuff at the minute there which bodes well.

I was checking earlierand LaRosiere seems to have more than everywhere else in the French Alps already and another 51cm due in the next week!!!! That should give a nice solid bed so just need to avoid any warm weather and silly thaws!!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@boredsurfin, Brilliant!! Assuming that's the new Geneva route? Southampton airport is only about 10 minutes from my house so, although the Flybe flights to Chambery are more convenient, it looks like the Eazy Jet flights will make it all a bit more accessible financially!!!
We went to Peisey, Les Arcs earlier this year (going again next March) and didn't make it over to La Plagne but fully intend to this time!!
