 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
We are heading out to Avoriaz w/c April 7th (2 adults and 3 kids) - I've seen from some other posts that you can ski Avoriaz until the end of the season but I'm having a panic now that we may have made a bad choice of resort - can anyone reassure me?

I was there in April last year where we had a huge dump and we slied knee to waist deep pow - it was amazing. I was also there in April a few years (when the Alps had a poor snow year in general) and the snow was terrible but we still skied every day and made the most out of it.
This year there is lots of snow so there wont be any problems and I will be there when you are so fingers crossed we get a dump

yes, its a good base, and although they havent had snow since the 24th of Feb, and crappy weather this week I believe, I think they are due some more this week and that should top up everything. You may not be able to ski down to the Ardent lift, or down to Pleney if you go over that side, but in Avoriaz you should be fine. Have a blast, Im very jealous.

dennisp, We may not have had snow from 24th Feb until 11th March but it did beofre that snow every week since the beginning of December. Over 8.7m of snow in Avoriaz and Morzine/Avoriaz has the best snow levels in France at the moment.

KKLtd, Just left this morning. Don't worry at all, whole area is in really great shape. Snowed quite a bit last week and sat, sun too.

KKLtd, so, it's getting into the late part of the season. This year however, there's been so much snow that even if it doesn't snow again, there's loads of snow. Lotsof little rabbit runs that often are never skiable will be skiable beyond May.

I know! We were there in early feb and got about 6 inches per night!!! It was epic, and avoriaz will no doubt be skiable well beyond the end of the season so anyone going has no worries. Still 40cms at the base even according to morznet

Another light dusting in Avoriaz last night. Things were pretty good last week - crisp in the mornings, softening towards late afternoon, as you would expect. Anyone going out now would seem to be in for a treat.
