skiing this week

I am thinking of going this week skiing i have got a flight to geneva for monday night, is it still worth it, or am i to late

I shall still be skiing this week, and shortly I shall be heading up the hill to bag the freshies :D

All depends on the flights for you, not sure if you'll get here....

Happened to be in Italy on business last week headed up to Les Gets to get one last days skiing. Got three instead due to volcano; slushy low down but gret on Chamosiere. Les Gets now closed so off to Avoriaz today! Hope to return home via car and ferry on Wed.

Should be fine im off Wed night for a few days.
Avoriaz should be ok but somewhere like Argentier might be better from Geneva. Both nr

Chamonix is open for two more weekends, it was great last weekend (April 11). Go to Argentier, it's high and North-facing. And as rain is forecast for this week, there is a chance of some fresh snow at the top of Grand Montets.

:) This Saturday in Zermatt met two Finnih guys who were on business in Italy and couldn't leave since last Thursday. So they headed straight to Cervinia, hired full kits and are probably still skiing now as I write this - they were talking about getting a car and driving on Wednesday:)

Avoriaz today was really good! That is the last ski this season for sure!

I've just made an effort and decided to hang up my skis till next season. it was a great season for me, especially relativly to my prior expectations. After missing the whole of last season for various reasons I thought it would be a season for me to get my ski legs back but instead I managed to move to bigger, taller and stiffer skis than I'd used to ski on and progress on them on a more technical terrain. Lesson learned this season - when undecided between the two lengths of a ski, go longer! Tons of benefits for the minor extra efforts! I am 167 and under 8 stones and skied my first 4 seasons on 156 beginner skis, skipped a season and now I can ski very confidently a ski at 165, and I know that I'll never buy a ski again if it's smaller than 170. My second best season so far in terms of progress, the best always being the first one, when from not knowing what to do with planks attached to my feet I moved to being able to ski even blacks when they are not icy (on my little Volkl Energy 320). Was seriously tempted to go to Chamonix on Saturday, but I've already got loads from my season so I'll be getting ready for summer and take my bike out instead!
