Despite it being sunny and south facing, the resort is high and has a good snow record into April - was skiing there in April last year and it was better than many of the Northern French Alps resorts

Unless something really really drastic happens, you will be fine.

Perhaps the title of this thread should read ' Any Snow By March'!!!

We were in LdA last year in early March, and some of the other guests in our chalet went to AdH for the day, and whilst some of the lower slopes were disappointing, the rest were great, by all accounts.
Up there for thinking, down there for skiing...

Brucie, I like the tag line "Better to remain.....". Rjbl,snow records show that you should be absolutely fine in March in ADH. May be there in Jan. but still to decide.
