La Clusaz

Hi, does anyone know what the snow should be like in La clusaz in early feb? Hopefully going for 4 nights but want to make sure we'll be able to ski.

Many thanks.

Snow should be good...

Ill leave it to the La Clusaz resident on this forum to give you the better details!!

Show yourself!

Actually there are several (not including myself, sadly) - if it wasn't dark I'd say they were out skiing... so they'll either be in a pub or cooking for their (lucky) guests then...

But, unless temperatures zoom up again, early Feb should be wicked. The higher pistes (on La Balme, etc.) are already well covered and the lower runs are on grass so remain skiable with quite thin snow cover...

But I wouldn't worry, it would take some pretty extraordinary weather for the skiing not be excellent in early February. If you're lucky with the fresh, it could be epic - some of my most memorable days skiing in the last few years have been at La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand (next valley - accessible by ski-bus).

Thanks for the reply Powderhound.
I'm staying in L'Etale apparentley its 8 km from La Clusaz and the apartment is supposedly ski in/ ski out, do you or any others know what conditions should be like in that area?

Thanks.

The Etale Massif is one of the quieter parts of the area, so you'll have direct access to some un-crowded pistes. The two runs from the top of the Etale cable car (one Red, one Black) are both great fun - particularly the upper sections in fresh snow. On quieter days here the only other person you'll see will be the guy (or girl) operating the lift.

For early skiers, the Blues in this area are nice for building confidence - wide and smooth.

If you've not found it, here's the Piste Map for La Clusaz

You can ski out to the rest of the domain from here, or can take the bus if you prefer.

Thanks powderhound, youve been a big help.

Cheers mate.

Does anyone know how much it costs for a lift pass for L'Etale for 3 or 4 days? Also how much would it be for all of La Clusaz please.

Thanks again. :)
