Would you care to retract that quote please? I've not made any "less than entirely accurate observation", I live within the ski amade, this week we've had 30+cms of fresh snow and I've still ample ski resorts in the local area to ski at. If you care to take a look at the austria snowreport thread you'll see some visual images of the conditions here this week. It was not a SMUG comment, I understand fts enjoys this area as well as la ros so was just pointing out that conditions here right now are fairly good. I never claimed any particular lift or resorts were open or closed. It's been a pretty crap snow year here like many places but this week has been a much better. Apologies if this thread is now OT, not my intention.

Anyway.......La Rosiere did see the majority of the pistes on the French side closed as our week developed. However, the resort benefitted from being part of the San Bernardo ski area because La Thuile seems to have fared better with some light snow and the higher altitude plus north facing slopes. It was still possible to ski down into La Thuile although the slopes from 2200m seemed to have a decent enough snow base to last a couple more weeks. Most pistes on the upper La Thuile side were open all week.
I can't remember queuing for more than 30 secs for the whole week, the pistes were very quiet and we got about 4-5 hrs decent ski time each day. As long as you were prepared for the narrow and slushy Choucas followed by the run to Les Eucherts at the end of the day, I would say the skiing was remarkably good given the overall poor snow fall this year.
For a last minute, late season deal, this was surprisingly one of my most enjoyable family ski trips. Probably because the kids weren't expecting to go this year, they skied well in the conditions and our expectations - being low the day before we left - were soon raised after the first day on the slopes. Blue sky days and snow.....

You said the Ski Amade did not reflect the poor conditions reported from La Ros. My inference from their website was that a substantial majority of pistes (69%) and lifts (63%) throughout Ski Amade were closed, with some local areas closed altogether.
If those figures are correct your contention that poor conditions were NOT reflected in the Ski Amade was inaccurate.
If I've made a complete balls of reading the website and in fact the Ski Amade is not, as you said, reflecting the same poor conditions, then yes, of course I will retract that quote.

Apologies Dwarf Vader, for posting on here, but from a 5 word posting I placed in the previous page I've been accused of having "smug superiority" and of being unable to observe the conditions that I've being skiing in by someone that makes no claim to have skied anywhere near the mountains where I ski at the time in question. I've no issue with La Ros, I've spent 2 seasons up the road at Val and had many day trips to La Ros and other nearby areas.

waynos, We coulds combine the 2 threads. Having my 2 favourite ski regions on the same thread would be most convenient.

I have to agree with waynos, it maybe off topic but being called smug etc wasn't really called for from a very short first post.
