 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all
we're headed to Alpe d'Huez in April, staying in Oz-en-Oisans. having booked it as a high and pretty snow-sure resort, I've since read that late season can be poor due to the south-facing runs getting a lot of sun. Presumably higher up, conditions can still be ok? Also, can anyone recommend runs or areas to head for where conditions might be better? - its hard to tell from the piste map but it looks like the pistes above auris and montfrais may be a little less south-facing than the others!
First time posting here - any tips welcomed.
Thanks

auris gets messed up by the sun first; montfrais is north facing and pretty reliable. or head up to the glacier
should be lots of skiing in April though

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

Arno,sums it up, you'll be able to pick flowers in Auris late season, Montfrais usually ok and loads of skiing at higher altitude which is usually really good at Easter, you'll also be able to buy me a beer in the Potee Oz

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

L'impo was pretty good last April, in fact there was a heck of a lot of good stuff about last April, the track to the Sarenne hut melts out making the return an easy walk rather than horrific traverse but watch out for the chairs back getting shut when Auris closes (about a week before AdH proper).

Sounds good - appreciate the advice. Obviously anywhere late season can be risky but good to know that all being well there should be some decent ski-ing about. All I need to do now is persuade the rest of my party to join me on the higher black runs...

if you take Marmottes III up you can access the glacier pistes without having to ski the difficult bit of the sarenne. Some nice blue/reds with fun bits in between if the snow is good
