Poster: A snowHead
|
Ok so im going on a long weekend to Morzine on Fri 29th April, its just a last minute thing! & i suspect that the snow will be slushy and even the high stuff will be iffy...if there at all!??
Does anyone know what its like around Avoriaz/Morzine Le Gets at that time of year? As i have never ventured out so late in the season.
& I can ski or board not sure which to do, ile probably play it by ear on this one??!!! any suggestions?

You are leaving it very late for the PDS. I believe that's Avoriaz last weekend so you might find nothing's open on the Monday. Higher runs; chavannette, fornet, arare should be open. Late season weather can do all sorts of things - it's forecast to snow to 1000m this weekend (meteo.chamonix.com) - so you might get lucky. It'll be nice and quiet though!

You need to get to Val Thorens if you can get there.

Hmm, Avoriaz received un unexpected 50-60cm of heavy snow over the weekend. Not very nice to ski in at all I'm afraid but an interesting challenge. The locals weren't too pleased as they were talking of closing completely a week early - i.e. next Sunday - but it looks like they'll need to stay open!!! Snow fell heavily down to 400m and lightly down as far as Geneva, but it wasn't cold enough to make for good powder. It would have been a huge advantage had it done this in January.
Also made for some entertaining driving as locals and rental coys had reverted to summer tyres!
Morzine very quiet - which was lovely - but definitely end of season.
Avoriaz will probably be open, but maybe you will be the only ones on the slopes!
