Thank you for your reporting:)
Brings back some memories from our visit to what is undoubtedly one of the greatest ski resorts in the world!

quote=msej449]6.2.12: Slightly less cold at between -13C and -6C so a lot more fun but pistes still pretty empty even at the Weekend. Bright and clear and relatively warm waiting for the skibus. Wind picked up a bit this afternoon. But overall, great snow, few people, and relatively smooth and forgiving pistes.

For a short while, I was completely on my own at Lac des Vaux, other than my two companions waiting at the lift. actually quite a bizarre feeling!

Here's a video from this morning, on the run from the gate below Savoleyres through to Carrefour:



The end at Carrefour ranks as the most people in once place on piste anywhere in Verbier!

Hi everyone,

Back from La Tania yesterday.
We had a fantastic time :lol:
Possible the best skiing trip ever :) and that includes Whister and Verbier among others.
I am now a converted ski Francophile.
Will try to leave some more details later on.

BTW: Do you know how to recognise a skier coming back from a March ski trip?

By a RED tip of his/her nose :D

Thank you all :thumbup: for your advice on La Tania & 3 Valleys.
Special thanks to Daved for last weeks' regular reports )
Enjoy your week :!:

0 sleeps to LA Tania :D
I better start packing up :wink:

1 sleep to La Tania :D

2 days to La Tania :D and the weather forecast looks great :!:
110 cm of snow at the village atm

Hi Smartski,

Thank you for your comprehensive report :thumbup:
We are off to La Tania on 17 March :D Can't wait!

Favourite runs & mountain eateries?

Regards,

I quite fancy Cervinia too, mainly because i want to Ski Zermatt and its the cheaper option. However having said that i hear that the link is often closed due to weather.

For me next year i am expecting that i one trip will be to the PDS area, more than likely it will be Avoriaz (cue wickers) and possibly my second trip will be a return to Paradiski with Les Arcs my choice but it will probably be Belle Plagne again as we loved it there.

Other shortlisted are:

Valmorel
Val D'Isere
La Tania.

During the 3rd week of January this year the link to Zermatt was closed on 1 day only (Friday) due to high winds and poor visibility. During the previous 5 days there was perfect sunny weather and the link was open all day every day :)
