 Poster: A snowHead
|
My lad has a school ski holiday there, Easter 2011.
Easter is mid April in 2011, what's the snow record like there, it is quite late.
Flaine website suggests that it is good, but they would say that.
Cheers

Easter sunday is 4 April. Depends when the trip is, but normally there would still be plenty of snow in the Flaine bowl, though some lower areas of the Grand Massif might be bare - or indeed closed. Normally school trips have lessons - and there should certainly be plenty of snow for lessons. And school trips aren't just about snow quality.  They'll have a great time.
Easter's a good time to ski - certainly better than half term. I did once ski on the most terrible slush in the Flaine bowl, with conditions only just about all right at the top. and that was early January! I'd say that late snow conditions are, on average, better than early ones - though that's just based on the last 7 seasons and obviously there are no guarantees at any time.

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

Flaine website suggests it's good because it is (in my experience anyway)
Have been to Flaine for the long weekend after easter 5 times in a row (around 19th to the 22nd April time) and it's always been superb, spring snow, we've been lucky enogh to have freshies 4 out of 5 times. Snow base at Flaine is huge this year(again  ) If I had to do one ski trip in a year it would be arrive the saturday after the easter holiday lot leave.
Nobody on the pistes, tonnes of snow, sun, perfect.

Sarge, yes, I didn't notice that! Trouble with school trips booked that far in advance is that by then, they'll have new best mates/girls/enemies......

Easter Sunday is 24 April in 2011 which is late - so as pam w, says it depends when the school take the actual trip. But Flaine will still be fine at that stage in the year.
