Poster: A snowHead

Hi as title suggests planning a trip to Avoriaz in March wondered what the snow was like from previous years?

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

Was lovely and slushy during a heatwave when I was there last March (third week I think?). Perfect spring conditions, slush surfing and bump demolition during the day, tshirt beers late afternoon. Hardpack and ice first thing gives you a reason to not have to get up at the crack of dawn for first lift, head up around 9:30/10 to harvest the best of the corn snow as the melt transformation begins anew.
Going back last week of March this season, my parents kinda fell in love with the PdS (lots of easy pistes for my Mum!).

Last March was particularly warm - and there wasn't much fresh snow the second half of the season. Normally would probably be a bit firmer. I'd say last week in March should be great.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I was there the first week of March last year. Was a bit warm and slushy when I arrived, but we had fresh pow drop on 3 of the days I was there and we were able to find fresh tracks most days. It was only down into Morzine, Ardent or the other lower areas that it remained spring-like. Even Lindarets was still seeing fresh.

Sounds like the perfect time to go then! Just like here in March, either slush and corn, or fresh snow, great conditions for skiing either way!
