 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey 
I'm sure someone local would know the answer...
I went to Cham last year and you could ski right the way down the mountain to the bottom of the Prarion lift in Les Houches. That was the end of feb and the snow near the bottom was starting to get thin... we're off to Cham again on saturday (the 21st). Will we still be able to ski right the way down? Or will there not be enough snow?

I've only stayed in les houches, but not skied it..but given the very warm weather there's been this week in Savoie / Haute Savoie then I think you'll be out of luck...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It needs good snow to be able to ski to bottom of Prarion. Done it a few times myself but this is only because we would go to ski Les Houches when we could see the runs were complete from the road. If snow is bad we would drive to St Gervais/Megeve, Les Contamines, Flaines, Les Gets etc. I would hold my breath for mid March. Upper area should be OK though.

Bear in mind too that the Les Houches lifts are not on the ordinary Chamonix pass this year.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

avalon42, yes, you can.
beequin, not sure what you mean by ordinary, but as of about 10 days ago LHs lifts are now back on the "Mont Blanc Unlimited" pass. No idea whether you need to get it validated anywhere...worth checking.
bertie bassett, saikee, this year's bumper snowfall and early season cold temps have meant that there's at least reasonable cover all the way down.

You'll need to Register first of course.

David Murdoch, thanks.
It's great to know you can, i find it really satisfying being able to ski right down to the bottom and not having to get a bubble back down!

David Murdoch, Are you sure? The other thread running on this subject reckons there is still some doubt. Have you tried it yet? I was thinking of going at the weekend.

midgetbiker, no, not sure. Some confusion. CMB says, "yes" (per Chamonet News), SEPP says "No, it's my ball and you can't play with it".
