Poster: A snowHead
|
We don't seem to have a thread on the resorts of the Cantal and Puy de Dome, so time to start one, given that things are starting to look rather good.
Alas, I'm stuck in the UK for a couple of weeks awaiting visa processing

Had my very first lesson at Le Lioran but haven't really skied there since despite having access to digs an hour away.
They've had a rough few years recently with the snow - here's hoping they can keep open through Feb this year.

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

@ol_smokey, last year certainly wasn't good. I had a little explore of the resort in December but no real snow came after that. I've never paid much attention before because it was only really a happy accident that landed me with a house down the road. The ski resort was always just a bonus, so I'll be chuffed if there's a good season or two!
Another photo today shows that there's plenty of snow all the way down to the station

Having just returned from Lyon I'm seriously considering returning next Spring for more of Lyon and skiing in and around Le Monte Dore
Fingers crossed for a good snow year

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have a soft spot for Mont Dore and would love to get back to the Massif Central for a slide one day.

Hope they get some good snow this year too, my experience of the lioran so far has been limited by too little snow and too much wind.
It's never going to set the world on fire for anyone competent on reds but we're trying not to fly this year and Lioran plus Mont Dore could fill a week if there's enough snow
