 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Hi there. I'm new to the forum. I would like to know if there is anybody who's been summer skiing in Les2Alpes. We are going in July/August and I would like to know how it is. Is it OK for beginners? How is the resort? Also, it may be a stupid question, but what should we wear for summer skiing? Do we still need ski trousers or it will be too warm for normal ski gear? Thanks

dorirux, welcome to  . I have been summer skiing there a couple of times. If you are a complete beginner, perhaps a lesson with Easiski would be a good idea , she isa regular on here, and her website is www.easiski.com .Click on her photo in the bottom right corner to email her. I always wear my ski trousers ( hurts less when you fall over), and have a couple of layers on, with a warmer fleece and a hat in my backpack (it could be cold and windy up there, or even snowing). A pair of fleece gloves should be enough for your hands. A good sunscreen is essential if you don't want to come back looking like Rudolph the rednosed reindeer.

Last year we skied on the glacier at LDA for 2 days in early august and there was a little bit of fresh snow one day! It did get a bit slushy/river like lower downtowards lunchtime though........
dorirux, the glacier is good for beginners as there are nice gentle runs
We enjoyed our couple of days there last summer so we are going back for q week this year. It was great to ski in the morning then head down to the valley, get changed and drop of the skis and then get the lifts back up to go for a walk in the afternoon

Sorry, I've been out for a few hours and I didn't read the replys. Thanks everyone.
What's the resort like? We are going with 2 children age 12. I understand there are lots of activities for children.

dorirux, There's probably more to do in the summer than in the winter....you do need to be up early for skiing as Roger C said, it does turn into water skiing around lunchtime.
Wear lots of layers for the glacier, it can get pretty cold one minute up there and then red hot the next. We always take a pair of trainers to put in bag, it can seem a long way up in your ski boots!!
Kids will love it, especially downhill mountain biking in the afternoon....I do!!! Loads to do......have you ordered a brochure from the LDA website? You will have a fantastic time.
Definitely speak to Easiski and can certainly recommend taking lessons from her.
