 Poster: A snowHead

It looks like Les Arcs has decided to open a little bit earlier this season than it has done in the last few years. Scheduled opening is December 5th according to LesArcsNet.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Meribel/Mottaret and Couch 1850 are also due to open on 5th, conditions permitting

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

I was staying in Les Arcs last season in that week but because it was not yet open I commuted up to Tignes each day to ski. Very frustrating considering there was shedloads of snow everywhere, including Les Arcs.

Sideshow_Bob, I've done my intro to touring. I decided I preferred ski lifts

I think LesArcs Net is wrong again, but didn't we discuss this on a different thread anyway? Whilst the homepage of LesArcs.com has 'domaine skiable ouvert 5/12/2009 au 25/4/2010 isn't the first week purely for the cinema festival? I think you'll be getting on a bus if you want to ski on the 6/12 from your appartment! So I'd imagine it's really only 1950/2000 bowl that would be open and they could probably get away with just Marmottes, Arcabule, Pre St. Esprit and Varet - would be nice if Lanchettes and Gd. Col was open, but I'd doubt they open Comborciere or Bois De L'ours as it would be tooo tempting to go down the 'wrong side'.
If you go to the official lift pass prices - http://www.lesarcs.com/IMG/pdf/2010-TARIFS-PUBLICS.pdf then it suggests the main opening is on the 12/12 with the handbag opening on the 19th which fiits in with last year opening dates. So Id' suggest the opening will be phased like this:
5/12 - Some lifts open in the 1950/2000 bowl
12/12 - Majority of lifts open in 1600/1800/1950/2000 and Peisey-Vallandry
19/12 - Opening of the Vanoise Express.

In previous years, Peisey-Vallandry has opened a week after Les Arcs, so my bet is on it opening with the VE, on the 19th, but I could be wrong

bertie bassett, yes that makes sense, and mirrors the way they closed the resort a couple of seasons ago. In any case I doubt I'll be in Les Arcs that week as I'm in Zermatt the previous week and will need to get back to the UK to do stuff before Christmas happens.
