Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Work has started on dismantling the Meleze lift ready to re-install it in Plagne 1800. Earthworks have commenced to construct the new Bergerie 6 seater lift from Plagne centre. Roughly this lift will start where Meleze was and then head across to finish between the top of the Colusses lift and the Bergerie restaurant,

Also in the news on www.perso-laplagne.fr is information on the Mont de la Guerre piste.
Mont de la Guerre is a lovely red that consists of powder fields connected by mogul fields and then dives down through the forest to end up at the Champagny bubble.
However the piste is often closed as the snow melts rapidly in the sunshine.
The plan is to re-profile the piste from the top down to the forest. The reason it is closed so often and for long periods is that the ground is so uneven with bumps and channels that don't allow the grooming machines to compact the snow to produce an enduring piste surface. This summer the troublesome sections will, at a cost of 200k be smoothed out. As a result, hopefully, the run will be open more often this coming winter.
The lower section through the forest into Champagny village will also see some maintenance work into the future but currently only 90% of the landowners have given permission and negociations are on going.

Mouth, Went down Mont de la Guerre once, skis needed servicing after Mad . Fell asleep half way down, never again. Champgny side is good to 1/2 way down and then the best thing about the slopes there are the chairs out Toofy Grin

thefatcontroller, IFIRC correctly for the lower half you followed the winding track (passage facile) through the forest which involves polling rather a lot, the actual piste goes directly down into the village wink snowHead

Boredsurfing, We did the full run but issue was there was no no fffing piste, just grass and 2 pairs of knackered skis. Never again. Even the top part which was supposed to be brillant Confused we found dull. Much nicer runs and better use of time close by, the black under the super fast grand rochette bubble for example Cool .

Definitley the Couloirs. I only use pistes and lifts as a method of getting to Couloirs or the park for some rails or jumps Skullie . Of course I am referring to the short black with the nice blue after

Although rumours abound regarding replacement for the Fornlet lift next season.
