Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Megeve April 2011?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi, We are considering a family trip to Megeve in April (9-16) but are a bit concerned about likely snow conditions. Obviously understand that v unlikely to be any snow in Megeve itslef and that we will have to travel a bit, but wonder if anyone has experience of what historically it is likely to be higher up? The Mont D'Arbois area will apparently be closed then and would appreciate any advice from anyone who has been out to Megeve in April before, is there likely to be enough skiing to keep us amused for 6 days? Planning on going with Simon Butler Skiing who seem a friendly and professional bunch.
I know that there will be plenty of better places to go snow wise then but this is an additional week prior to a week in Risoul.

philipb, Hmm. Yes, there will be some snow, but it's certainly not the ideal resort for mid April. On the other hand, if you are going with Simon Butler, you will presumably be going out with them for lessons, and I guess if anyone can find you good snow, they can.

Thanks pam . Yes those were my thoughts plus from everything I've read Simon Butler seem like a good outlet and it sounds like Megeve should provide a certain amount of non-ski entertainment too. We'll have a car so could visit other higher resorts if it comes to it.

philipb, There actually aren't many higher resorts round there (well, higher villages, but not necessarily higher skiing). The best bet if things are a bit slushy could be Les Contamines. The top of the skiing is east facing and holds its snow well. Or the Grand Montets in Chamonix. Yes, Megeve has a sports centre/swimming pool, a casino, some seriously expensive restaurants and a McDonalds. You'll be spoilt for choice. wink Simon Butler should be good, too (I did once enquire as to whether outsiders could join in their ski lessons, but the answer was no). The Combloux skiing will be closed by then, too, which is a shame.
