Standee, snow is great in Les Gets at the mo though the season does officially finish on 20th, not sure where you are heading?
Had a good run on the Arbis, though someone had put some moguls on the steep bits just for me, aagh......couldn't help looking wistfully over at Mont Chery though. Skiied back down after very pleasant drink in the sun at top of Fys chair, must have been last down, bliss  |
We are staying in Morzine, Avoriaz is still open as far as I am aware.

Looking at the webcams in Les Gets it looks like it has just started dumping again. Wonder how long it will take until this turns to rain as the charts are forecast to get a bit warmer.

Standee, don't worry, the snow in Avoriaz isn't going anywhere for a while. Had an excellent morning skinning up the Chesery, and up to a peak on the right ridge of the vorla valley. Don't know its name. Snow conditions were excellent, and we had to call it a day by 1 pm because it started sumping with snow (again)...

Pouring with rain here in Morzine, sleet/rain in Avoriaz. Managed a quick circuit this morning before it really set in. Posted some pics of Mondays amazing powder over in the piste section.

my daughter hitting 58.9mph on out host's GPS (OK it's probably wrong, but it was worth it for the daft look on her face);

If she was going for it down a steep then it could be correct. We have recorded 59-61mph (with no one else on the slope I might add).
If she normally skis at a more moderate pace then maybe it was left on in the car!

It has snowed pretty heavily overnight and for most of the day. Good levels as well down to 1000 m. The conditions are great, the clients have gone home, and everyone is happy! Plus a few of us are going heliskiing at the weekend.
What an excellent season it has been...

I can't believe it's still snowing, but it's pelting down nice big flakes here in Les Gets. Forecast to be sunny tomorrow so that will probably be my last morning on the slopes as I'm then away for a few days. There's still so much snow up there, but the season ends on Sunday...(Avoriaz ends 27th, I think, and I was told yesterday by an instructor up there that conditions are very good still, Standee).

Cheers Snowzebra, getting really excited now, gutted the season ends when there is still snow about but I guess it takes time to wind things down ready for the summer.

Just come back from quick last ski. Fab sunshine, lots of snow still, a tiny bit mushy lower down but still good skiing. Apparently Avoriaz towards Switzerland yesterday had great powder and almost no skiers left. Well, it's been a wonderful season for me...there's still a few days left here in Les Gets and another week in Avoriaz and I have just looked at the Chamonix meteo which forecasts more snow!

Been a while since a post - as funnily enough we have benn enjoying empty pistes, fab snow and some great off piste. Even with the predicted higher temperatures this weekend we shoudl have fantastic conditions up until the last day a week on Sunday.
Talking to others we have agreed that this has been the snowiest/wettest/non-sunny April in 6/7 years!!!!

bigtoe, went to LG in March this year and it was epic!
LG certainly had the better share of the snow than Morzine, with the lower slopes in Morzine quickly going to shoite just two days after the snow fell. LG was brill though, especially the high runs (PDN and Chamoissere) and the bowl above LG.

I have been the last couple of half term weeks.
It is busy espescially around the resorts base but leave them and its fine, we found plenty of empty bits. You just have to study the maps a bit and get away from the main lift runs out and back to the resorts.
Enjoy
Specialman
Yes LG is good and we have found the lower slopes better than Morzine in the past. I wanted to ski chamosier (spelt wrong sorry) Last year but group i was with wimped out on it as it was getting on a bit in the day. We then allways headed upto Avoriaz as the snow was loads better and less busy. Still there is allways this coming March.

FAQ
But now it's all gone for 9 months or so... 
There will be other people for us to ski with so the worst case scenario is that we ski a couple of days/afternoons independently. We were planning on skiing as a family for several days anyway.
