 Poster: A snowHead
|
anyone got a considered opinion on xmas or new year best choice from tignes or meribel? Been to Tignes couple of years ago and mid Jan the snow wasnt great, but i think the whole of the alps was a bit rubbish that year. Never been to Meribel so dont know whether its a good early season option usually. Toughts?
cheers

Meribel is at 1450m, but was fine this January, and the three valley links should normally be open, giving you plenty of scope to go higher if necessary. Personally, I plan to be skiiing Meribel (and the rest of the 3V) from the day it opens.

Personally, if I had to book up now before having any idea of the snow conditions, it would be Tignes, no contest. Any time the snow is poor in Tignes it is highly probable to be worse in Meribel.

Tignes.
The higher you go, the reliabler the snow.

bitoffluff, ah I have now made the connection! Funny how both those resorts came up in conversation earlier on from the other thread eh! I'm sure you will have a good time in Tignes with the possibility of 3V later on in the season as you say. Good luck.

Meribel can be a liitle rocky so decent depths are needed. Higher in Austria is good, the meadows are grassy so limited cover still gives good skiing, better apres too.
