 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking to take the family on our first ski holiday (girls have first ski lesson next week at rossendale, don't know who is more excited them or me!!!) next April, can anyone give me a heads up on what the snow conditions are likely to be like.
regards
J

JasonW, Impossible to predict with any confidence, probably hard and crunchy in the morning, so don't start till 10h00ish, softening rapidly, mushy on south facing slopes at least by mid afternoon.
One of my favourite times of year tbh, relaxed, generally warm and sunny (in a snowy sort of way), definitely oriented around late starts, late lunches on terrasses. Oh and lots of slushy bumps and corn snow. Yum.

JasonW, Brilliant time in Avoriaz. Most things (if not all will be open) and should have some lovely weather

Hi Jason
You should have no problems with Avoriaz for those dates or any other dates, in the 7 years I have been in the PDS area Avoriaz has always been open with fantastic snow, April skiing is great, warm long days and generally you will get some fresh snow. If its anything like last year there will be stacks of snow. Also places like Chatel really hold up well with brilliant snow conditions.
Remember Avoriaz and the other resorts have a very good snow record due to it position inbetween Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, plus we do not need stacks of snow to cover our pistes as they sit on pasture land, so 40 cm is enough.
Enjoy
Paolo

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

JasonW, will be a great first time for you all, the girls will love it. Try and include a visit to Morzine down in the valley, lovely town for a stroll round, and the Lac de Montriond in the afternoon for a walk and a cuppa hot chocolate at one of the restaurants, stunning views. try the new Aquariaz water center in Avoriaz too, good fun for a family afternoon session.
