Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Which resort least crowded for NY week?

Esprit have cheap accom only deals for week beginning 30th Dec. La Rosiere, Meribel or Belle Plagne. Which of these would be least crowded on the slopes that week? Myself and husband are intermediate skier and boarder with a 5 year old. Want Esprit for the wrap-around childcare. We are tied to flights to Lyon from Dublin.

I'd guess at La Rosiere of those three. Don't know if the logic stands scrutiny but La Rosiere generally comes further down the list of destinations when people approach the Tarentaise valley ski areas.

Meribel seems to have a more "embedded" clientele over the season and appears to be higher occupancy throughout a ski term.

La Plagne overall has a huge capacity, whether that is fully utilised for the period seems more likely as it's also reasonable for weekend visitors.

Terrain ok in all of them, weather is going to be luck of the draw really.

@oldschool72, yes I’d say La Rosiere would be a little quieter than the other two.

Also, you should get more enjoyment and value in future, as your skiing develops, from the more extensive 3V and Paradiski areas.

La Rosiere with La Thuile should be good for now.

@oldschool72, surprised Esprit offering ‘accommodation only’ deals, especially in a school holiday period.

Back in the day they only offered flight/accommodation/chalet board packages.

Accom only offer in their "Deals' section on website. Christmas and New Year only. Just saw them there, haven't called them yet.

It'll mean they've sold all the flight seats, presumably.

Did Belle Plagne last year and the problem was that you basically have to go via Bellecote in the morning, which was rammed. Once you're beyond that the slopes and lift queues are pretty reasonable, but was easy to lose 40 minutes in the initial queues. I would caveat that by pointing out that the weather was a bit varied, so on two of the days the lifts weren't really running before 10am so the queues stacked up...and then limited pistes open so everyone was funneling back to the same lifts...but the wait was worth it
