Not sure on FR however here in the Central Pyrenees there are great snow depths at the base in all resorts and lots of powder to play in off piste after this weekends storms.

The piste report here at the Tourmalet resort (largest ski area in the French Pyrenees www.tourmalet.fr) has announced a snow thickness of 2m! We have up to 1m of new snow last week and the conditions are fabulous - probably similar in the Eastern Pyrenees.

About 80% of the lifts are currently open in FR.
Snowdepths are roughly double the longterm average.
Temps are a little high today.
But conditions overall remain good.
FR are having an above-average season.

Mountainbug, do you know when Bareges is scheduled to stay open till this season? Had a weekend there a few years ago in April and half of the slopes were grass but on the other side there was loads to do especially if you were prepared to hike a bit, for me one of the most underrated resorts around, great place.

The resort is due to close 5pm on the 19th April. We have never known it shut early, although admittedly in April 2006 there was a fair bit of grass about at the very end of the season. The last two years we had epic snowfalls in mid to late-March, and the resort still closed on the scheduled date despite all of the runs still being thick with snow. Likewise, in 2004 it snowed most of the way through April, and in 2005 we had 80cm of new snow on the last day of the season. Gutted!

I've been checking the meteo and webcams for Font Romeu, looks beautifully white can't wait for this weekend. although skiing is limited in that area, there are 6 ski stations that all offer a good days skiing within driving
distance of each other, you can buy a pass which covers you for all the areas, although they're not linked by a ski lift system with a car you can expore an area a day, the beauty of it all is that it's not crowded, no queues. Whilst I
love the Alps with a passion, for a cheap, queue free break this area is great.
