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 :-)

Portes du Soleil in Zone B french half term

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi,

I booked a last minute long weekend ski trip to Morzine in a few weeks. We arrive the day before the start of the ‘zone B’ french school holidays (we will be skiing Friday 4th Feb- Monday 7th Feb). No other ‘zones’ are yet on school holidays that weekend.

We have been to Morzine many times over New Years Eve, I wondered how the first weekend of the zone B french school holidays might compare in terms of lifts queues and pistes being busy.

Has anyone been to Morzine at this time of year and how have you found it?

Also if we wanted to ski to Avoriaz one day and have apres ski drinks there until say 6ish, could we ski down the small blue slope to the top of the Prodain express bubble lift to get back to to Morzine after the chair lifts have stopped?

Thanks so much.
Rebecca

Less (and better behaved) than at any other time in the French Hoildays, probably about the same as New Years.

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

@rebeccaappleyard1, Welcome to snow heads snowHead
Shouldn't be too bad, no worse probably better than new year. Prodains express and buses run to 9pm or later depending on the day, but punter-passes stop working at 5.15pm, after that you'd have to buy an aller-simple at the vending machine to get down.

Officially you can't ski down from Avoriaz to Prodains after the lifts have closed as the pistes close at 4:30/5:00 so they are clear for piste bashing and you have to download on the Prodains gondola. Of course that's officially and the piste's still there, you might just get shouted at by the ski patrol if they catch you/have to dodge a piste basher (though I don't think it's usually an early-bashed run).

Another option is to ski down to the bottom of the Ardent bubble and hit the apres in Happy Hours. Wednesday's the really big night as all the seasonairs are out but think it's open every day. The M bus run till 6pm and takes you back the 'other' side of the wobbly bridge, up to the head of the valley in Morzine.

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I don't think they use cables down that piste, but where they do you risk way more than beinh shouted at by venturing on a closed piste after hours...

If you've had a drink - take the cable car not the risk of running into a piste basher or a tree. Not worth the risk. Saturdays are quieter - Sundays are busier but getting out early doors and dodging peak lunch times etc really works.
