 Poster: A snowHead
|
Guys
I am off for Easter week 07/04/12 - 15/04/12
Really, really, really considering going boarding one last time but never been as late as this.
Do you think there will be snow? I know you cannot predict the future but based on history.
Snowbombing in Mayrhofen is around that time of year and it is usually quite good. Also 3 valleys is very high!
Thanks

Hope so, a load of us have just paid up to go two weeks after 
It's varied over the years between great and ok, but always skiable. Depends where in the 3Vs I suppose. Val Thorens has always been ok and I've skied over to Courchavel 1850 before now, although more often the links have been shut as the snow's run out at the bottom of the valleys.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I plan to stay in Meribel (been before) but will be getting a full ski pass to allow us up to VT!

There will definitely be snow, but I wouldn't stay in Meribel. Lowest part of the 3V and a bit infamous for poor late/early season conditions.

Boydie, staying in Méribel will be fine if your not worried about a little slush. If there's no snow, get the free bus back from Mottaret

Staying in meribel wouldn't bother me to be honest as long as I had the full pass I could then just head up the lift.
I am just throwing things into the air at the minute as I am off work during Easter and I have a few options.
My grandmother lives in Forres, Scotland and considering taking the car over for a road trip, hit Cairngorms for a bit of outdoorsy stuff, will there be snow there that week do you think??

Boydie, we skied last easter in the 3V and despite all the other local resorts being closed due to the poor conditions in a poor year, we were still able to ski les menuires & Val T (we were based in St Martin).
With the great weather this year you should be fine, we had 3v passes and used them as far as we could - snow permitting. everyone else headed up to higher Vt & Orrelle ans we dodged to any lift that had a short que and had a great time - We had some great runs down Mont Vallon even if the last 100m had to be walked. The run back to st martin could be partially done, from roche 3 marche down to le Grange lift and often this was the best run of the day - at any time of the day, as everyone were heading past up to VT.
have a great time, enjoy....

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

+ another 1. If given any choice, at that time, I'd go to Tignes. But if it HAS to be the 3V, then Val Thorens.
