 Poster: A snowHead
|
A friend of a friend has a space in a chalet in late March this year in Courcheval.
I'm wondering how risky late March will be regarding snow.
I went to Les Arcs in mid March last year and conditions were great, so am I right in considering it not a great risk?

Not a great risk, we were there 2nd week of April, it was fine, heavy by lunchtime yes but fine, go for it.

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

tomstickland, often the best time of year. Good snow base and long sunny days to enjoy it.

Go for it, I am in the 3 V at this time myself. Due to the timing of easter this year and the school hols w/c 20 March will be relatively quiet .

I was in Val Thorens in late March/early April 2009 and it was fine - by 4:30pm some of the busier runs were a bit heavy but apart from that it was great. Amazing sunshine all week.

tomstickland, I bl00dy hope it's a safe bet, as the EoSB at Val T isn't until the end of April!

I love skiing in March, it's often the best snow, with longer days and is warmer too. Nothing better than an outdoors apres ski pint!!! Skiied May Bank Holiday last year in Tignes - brilliant snow, bit slushy lower down (understatement actually!) But fine higher up.

I've had a week of angst. I'd decided that the March trip wasn't going to happen. But I had an email from one of the party this week asking if I was still interested. I then spent 4 days flip-flopping between the fun of skiing versus the satistfaction of being £1K better off.
Someone at work said to me "get on with it". Then I thought "the snow might be rubbish next year", so I'm now at 98% yes. Just got to sort some travel details and I think it'll be a yes, go, go, go.

tomstickland, stop fannying around and go ski. 3V in March will be fine, there are a load of us going there nearly a month later on the eosb .You'll probably come back gloating as to how good the snow conditions were.
People are far too picky when it comes to skiing..3*/4*...should i ski in March...etc

Go it will be fine in late March, we always ski in the 3V in late March and have never been disappointed. Book it and enjoy it.

You know it makes sense.
|
|
It will be fine! If necessary go over to Val Thorens

no, no, NO, you have it all wrong, all skiing finishes after half term, don't go, it's too late, all the snow melts, all you get is lovely warm days, the chance of fresh snow and hardly anyone around, rubbish really, no idea why I keep skiing at Easter
