Even if you had a photo card before, you still need a new one for this season to download so have it ready. Oh well, at least you can get your pass now.

Which web site is that SC ? - I've gone to http://lesarcs.paradiski.com and can log in, but when I select the 4 of us who want passes and click create an order all I get is the CarteZen, youtube & nirvavalps options - no way to buy a standard 6 day pass

Also are you saying I can't just recharge my pass from last year on line (done it that way for a few years now) - I don't gert enough skiing in to make the CarteZen worth the 29E fee.

Thanks - all advice much appreciated!

scooby7, if you are not an owner or staying for longer than three weeks it is not worth having a season pass. For a normal pass, go to this link.

http://www.lesarcs.com/-Ski-passes-.html

You then choose what you want and see when they come on-line to buy.If you have an account you need to log in but only when the pass you want comes on-line. You will just have to keep checking.

Current conditions and news.

Fresh snow in Les Arcs again, doesn't it look nice. All the webcams seem to be working again, so time to dream of all that powder just weeks away I hope. Sun and low temps tomorrow followed by more snow as next week progresses. I might even get the skins out this weekend.

Looks like they are doing work on the transarc gondola ready for the start in a few weeks time. Even a few people in resort getting stuff ready from the emails I have had. Now we just have to hope the fresh snow stays.

Hi All,

Have just seen this deal on the WTSS website, available until 21st November....

Me too. Although not Les Arcs, been religiously checking Val D'isere and Tignes every day for the last few weeks and watched the scenery change. Love it. If only I was there to see it for myself....

Well I am an owner, but I got an email today from SMA/STAG and if I understand it correctly they've scrapped the owner discount in favour of the nirvanalps scheme which looks like a kind of pyramid selling scam. I get people to buy lift passes through me, and in return I get a cheaper pass - It won't be as good as a straight owner discount

Hi scooby7, if you are an owner and need more details about what is on offer just for you, please send me a PM as I do not put that stuff on here.

Had my first trip out onto the winter snow last weekend. Managed to get up to a farmhouse in the snow for the weekend with some friends. Great fun. Snow level seemed to be at about 1100m and just under 1700m we had firm snow about 12cm depth. Very rustic with log fire and oil lamps for light at night. Snow was still frozen and in OK condition on the way down. Is this the real start of the winter. Hope so, well below freezing at night. But I made the classic beginner mistake. Did not take spare batteries for the cold weather and guess what, after two shoots camera stopped working. Not happy Oh well better planning next time.

With the fresh snow that has fallen in the last few days it is starting to look good. It even seems like it is settling a little. Only two weeks to go for me.
