Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm looking at late booking offer for Les Arcs for 13th March.
Don't know anything about the area so any feedback would be great for an advanced int & int skier.
What are the current snow conditions like?
Any tuition recomendations for private lessons, especially for off-piste, if conditions allow.
I've also posted this in the Resorts thread but also put it here as I'm looking to push the button quickly on this.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

For the best snow and stunning panoramic views of the Aiguille Rouge, stay in Arc 2000 (but that highest station is short of charm). For the maximum resort life stay in Arc 1800. But my favourite is the original Arc - 1600 - because the architecture is clever and intimate and you have evening access down to Bourg St Maurice if you want to go for a stroll in a 'real place'. The runs down to Arc 1600 are nice, too, and should be in great condition in mid-March.
Have a great time - it's easily one of my top 5 ski areas.
