Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, returned yesterday ( Saturday 17th March ) from a weeks skiing in Les Sybelles.
We stayed in St Sorlin D'Arves, however we managed to ski to all resorts in the area
We skiid down to St Colomban Des Villards at 1100M on Wednesday, all runs were open, crisp in morning but getting slushy by midday.
We also skiid down to Bottieres as well at 1300M similar conditions, however the drag lift out of Bottierres is getting patchy.
On Friday the temperature in St John D'Arves on the Le Chal lift was reading 17 degrees C at 1130 am!!
On one day we saw 20C in St Sorlin in mid resort.
The pistieres are doing a great job keeping the slopes open and despite blazing sunshine all week, only 4 runs accross the whole area were closed when we left on Saturday.
As long as temp drops next week which it is supposed to, then skiing will still be okay, but they do need a dump of snow really.
A great sunny week skiing and still got a burned face with factor 30 on

How did you get on with getting about? Les Sybelles claims 310km of pistes but they're well spread out. St Colomban in particular is right out on a limb.
We didn't have such memorable weather in Feb:

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Took about 2 hours from St Sorlin to get to St Colomban, mixture of slow cruising and blasting ( well going fast for my level!!!! )
