Guvnor, Not been but quite fancy doing a road trip in that area. If you have a car there are some other resorts worth a visit as well not too far away.

Need to avoid Toulouse and Bordeaux school holidays if you don't want 45+ minute lift queues. Virtually no tree cover for overcast days and while the runs are nearly all suitable for first and second week skiers, many of the drag lifts would be too challenging for even fifth/sixth week skiers. On the plus side the best burger and chips you'll ever eat is served at the Edelweiss near the lifts in Pla d'Adet.

Guvnor, I went there in about 1980 when Thomson "discovered" the place and promoted the hell out of it. There was very little snow so we got bussed to Espiaube where there was also very little snow. Even though I was very easily impressed at that stage of my skiing career I could still tell that it was utter pants. St Lary had a nice centre to it, excellent cheese shop and my mate got staggeringly p1553d and managed to half fill the bath with puke. Sadly, they are my only memories. I'm sure it's changed a bit in 3 decades. Any use?

Guvnor, Nice place easy skiing, if you stay in the valley resort you has to think about to be early in the morning to take the Gondola up to St Lary 1700, if you coming later when the french have wake and want to get up there, it will take long time, If you have a car the area is highclass for a roadtrip, in less than 25km you have the resorts, Peyragudes, Piau Engaly, Superbagneres, Gavarnie/Gèdre and Bareges & La Mongie with the the unpisted freeskiing mountain Pic du midi,,
