Les Arcs in March is generally pretty darned good. No guarantees, of course, but you can see from our snow depth history for Les Arcs that snow depths actually peaked in March in the last 2 winters :-
With plenty of skiing above 2,000 metres, Les Arcs is not somewhere you should really be worrying about for March TBH. La Plagne is similar. Pick one of the higher villages/centres and you'll be higher than the majority of European resorts.

Only decent snow we found all week was top third of Aiguille Rouge across in Les Arcs.
Last season was just one of those rubbish seasons. We were due one.

When we arrived at the beginning of December there was loads and loads of snow but it was melting quickly due to the high temperatures and on the first day of the season I skied in a soft shell in the morning and a T shirt later on.
we had a slight dusting of snow just before Christmas, the week between Christmas and new year was very snowny.
January started warm and dry but soon turned cold and started to dump it down and it pretty much carried on till just before half term, from then on the temperatures were high and it was fairly dry.
March saw a few fair size dumps but it was generally warm with often no night freeze slopes were slushy from the off by the end of March and April temperatures over 15 degrees were common at 2000 meters.
Les Arc's slopes didn't hold up to well to the warm weather and we didn't venture over that often towards the end of the season.
