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 :-)

@luigi, o thats the meaning of W???
ok really positive that NL, DK and E/S/I are one week later.
I think this week will be better in Austria or maybe Switzerland instead of France ... at least for us

Quite a newbie for these, I'm restricted to going in the English Feb half term (Partner is a teacher), looks like it's gonna be hella busy. Any suggestions of areas that maybe wouldn't be so busy according to this?

where are heading the Skiers from Zone C ? Generally speaking....
Toulouse and Montpellier are South, so the South Alps are affected, Paris is on the other Side of France, so the Northern Alps are affected? is France a no-go next HT?
The Zone C is the worst?

@hogofwar, usual suggestion is Italy. Or have a mindset shift to accept the busyness. Being in ski school (as you said you are a newbie) would help a bit as you get priority on the lifts.

@turms2, not sure it makes much odds.

It's never a no go. Just depends if you have alternatives and an acceptance of the busyness.

We even did it once. Actually I was also in Serre Chev donkeys years ago during holidays. We got by.

the only alternative is no-go

we will go definitely Christmas/New Year and Easter
the question is if its worth it in this week (Carneval) or not.
Howerver i will go in Les Gets this year in HT. I can check it out there.
Last couple of years in Chamrousse (perfect) and Flaine was ok. But it was not with Zone C

By the standard logic a one zone week must have lower footfall than a two zone week.

@hogofwar, I would recommend heading for a small resort that you've probably never heard of before. As a beginner you won't need many miles of pistes. A large resort can feel intimidating / frustrating and will attract those that like to hoone about.

I'd always recommend one of our favourites, Albiez-Montrond in the Maurienne Valley. Tiny but delightful with a beginner friendly feel.
