Hi Marc
I went with mixed ability group of three in late jan. Weather was a total mixture. We had heavy snow and freezing temps followed by lovely sun and almost spruing like conditions later in the week.
Skiing was fab. The range is broad from lovely easy cruisers lower down on the front face to get your feet leading up to some stiff reds and blacks (longest black la sarenne is a whopping 16km...is steep at parts but the last 5km is all flattish cruising). Range is mainly intermediate with great range of blues and reds. Some blues like signal are in my opinion quite stiff compared to other resorts but they are wide open if a little steep in parts.
As the main face is south facing it cops a lot of sun so when the temps warm up you get soft snow in the afternoons. you can always drop over the back of signal for northfacing shade.
Didn't go out too much so not much info on nightlife. soz on that one.
Will

ADH sucks.
It is one of the most overrated resorts in the Alps.
The town is unattractive. The nightlife is gash. The slopes are bland and treeless.
Go to Les 2 Alpes just across the valley. Much better.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Whitegold, because 2Alpes is known for its extensive forestation, obviously.

Arno, sorry. How about '2Alpes is famous for having big woods.' instead?

Whitegold, is absolutely correct, ADH sucks, do not go there, particularly not in 2 weeks time, during mid February, or over the Easter period when the slopes will be far too busy anyway!
