Perhaps it's just fixed 'starting gates' for the boarder-x course, but it' looks a little over-built for just that...

Hi all. Someone recommended that I post on here regarding the Cariboo nursery in 1950. Has anyone used it? We are thinking of using it for Easter 2011 for our 2 year old. Any experiences would be great. Cheers peter

prthomas, Not used them personally but we use the Ski School (Spirit 1950) which is linked to them. Always get excellent service and often see the nannies around the Village with the kids. Its the only crèche in the 1950 so I don't think you have an option but I wouldn't worry. Also 1950 is easy to get to from all parts of Les Arcs so if you are out skiing and you get a call and need to get back to the Village then its not that far a ski/lift ride from most parts of Les Arcs.
1950 is also high enough that for Easter you should be ok snow wise.

Great updates, thanks for posting the pics thefatcontroller, I think that is the moving floor going up to the flame thing in Arc 2000, or at least they have started building it.
Jamesc, agree that is the site of the new T bar (Yuk) for the snow park but it does not look like they have moved on that much since last time I saw it. I hope they get it finished before the real snow comes.
I changed the name at the top to include everything we chat about. Hope that makes it more clear for anyone looking to post questions.
Is anyone else going to be out for the flim festival during the first week of the season (12 - 15th Dec) and planning to see any films?
prthomas, Pleased to see you posted here now. And look already one response. Maybe someone in 1950 that has used the club can give you some feedback as well. Sorry not really my thing, but have heard ok stuff about it from friends that have small kids.

prthomas, likewise to other posts, not used the cariboo myself (or indeed offspring, due to their being older now  ) but I am an owner in 1950, and therefore spend a considerable amount of time there. General impressions are good - there is a lot of space for the kids indoors, they have out-door facilites too and seem to spend a lot of time playing in the snow. Do you remember the 'redcoats' at Butlins who used to run around pretending to be pirates, with kids chasing them? - a lot of that sort of stuff seems to go on!
To my knowledge nothing untoward has been reported on the owners' website: and we are a whingy lot, so I would expect anything less than exemplary service would at the very least have had a comment or two by now...

Boredsurfing, I thinks that the cement machine. I knew from the plans when we bought that phase 2 would come out a lot hence we bought on the Lanchette lift side but still shocked as to how much it sticks out and cuts access into the plateau of.

We've already booked a chalet at 2000 for new year, will look to stock up on cheap beer on the drive up and make the most of being able to hit the slopes nice and early

bertie bassett, Sorry you are right for workers. Bog all else to do and nowhere to go and a lot live in 2000 for the Winter so lots of parties. I was answering from a visitor perspective. We were in Arc 2000 near end of season last year and we heard stories of all night parties amongst workers in guest areas keeping everyone awake all night.

FAQ
. I notice they have put some 'voomy things' (might trade mark that name) on Arpette and one of them shows this? What are they building? Did someone get the dimensions for some new rails, very, very wrong?
Or a half pipe 
. On the far right hand side at the front those 2 are new and behind them (out of view), the car park is now apartments and a bowling alley and in the very front middle of the picture they are building more apartments next Summer. Missing, not, to much building yes.
