 Poster: A snowHead
|
I know that Les Melezes got some bad press last season. So, having just spent the weekend there with rob@rar and skimotterat with the InsideOut Ski Club.
I thought it would be useful to say that they appear to be back on form.

To be fair to them I think they sorted the problems out fairly quickly last winter. Losing the 2 main men there in quick succession left a big gap for a while. I went last October and it was great, by the time I went back in December it was a shambles.
On the downside they do so well now on their early season deals I couldn't get anything that worked for me after 4 visits in 3 years. Thankfully the PSB has filled the gap.

crazy_skier_jules, it'll be great for you.
The only downside is that it's waaaaaaaaaaay out of the main village. They will run you up in the evening, but you'll have to make your own way back and it's an expensive taxi (you really couldn't walk it, but you could try hitching).

crazy_skier_jules, Yes as FS says apres here is the hotel bar. Splash out on a room with a bathroom would also be my advice if budget permits.

Although I think the buses run a bit later during the full winter season. May be able to fit some apres in. Worth checking though as I'm not certain.

although I guess if CSJ is on a budget then full-on Tignes apres is prolly not on the agenda - 2 nights out and that's another £199 unloaded

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Colin B, True. I guess I meant that if staying in Les Boises then budget Tignes apres is best taken - briefly - on the way down. A full night up there followed by a cab can be a bit :shock:ing

crazy_skier_jules, I;ve stayed at Melezes twice and found the bar just right for a quiet evening after work - theres a tv lounge bit too if you whacked out.

You know it makes sense.
|
crazy_skier_jules, It is a great place to stay, good food comfortable bar with reasonable prices. The Pixies have all stayed here and had great times
