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 :-)

Was there mid-April, could still ski down to resort level. I wouldn't worry too much unless you are going very early or late, it is pretty reliable for snow. I can imagine it could get quite cold at the top mid-season, as it feels quite exposed, but there is tree skiing lower down.

I drove there from another resort so can't tell you what the nightlife is like.

It is fine for your level andybabes, with the only real drawback of the home runs being reds or blacks. You can always download by gondola. It is also relatively quiet, which is a good for everyone but especially for near beginners.

Fifth vote for La Rascard.

I really loved the skiing in La Thuile. I was there in January, despite the temp being +10 in La Thuile I was able to ski right down the black to La Rascard. Went there a few times.

One of the joys in staying in la Rosiere was skiing to la Rascard in la Thuile (sixth vote) and would also recommend the Bombardinos (rocket fuel) to be had at the bottom of the Petit San Bernado lift

Frosty the Snowman,

Is that the long run down to la Thuile? Doesn't look familiar. It wasn't open when we were there.

johnboy, its the run approaching the Fourclaz lift and Roxi's mountain "shed". The "road" run is beyond the lift.

La Thuile is great, it is when you get to that French place (who's name I can't remember that things begin to go wrong).

andybabes, when you cross the border, make sure you ski Les Marmottes if it's open. Lovely, lovely run. Chair back up is very pretty. I'm told Fontaine Froide is also worth a blast (I never managed to find it open). Oh yes and food-wise, the Tartiflette from the self-service at the bottom of the Fort chair is WELL worth the trip.

Frosty the Snowman, you are a cruel, cruel man. I am now salivating - and not just for the pizza but for the snow as well.

johnboy, I didn't try the beer in a boot, because, as you well know I don't drink. Shocked wink

andybabes, We went in early April; the snow was fine and the runs 6 & 7 down are fairly easy (my five year old could cope with it).
Yet another vote for the best pizza place on earth (but it's called Le Rascard for all you pedants). They serve a chocolate and cream dessert pizza which is an absolute must Smile

jb1970, I booked a few days ago through crystal (reluctanty) as I got regional flights transfers & HB for £215. I am sure there was a single supp available in the hotels, but don't think it was very much.

andybabes, We are there the week 6th - 13th Jan, so we will drink all the beer & wave at you at the airport NehNeh NehNeh
