Don't ask Daved for directions La Plagne and Alpes D'Huez are about 3 hours apart!!

You have to go near, or to, Annecy to get to both of them and last I heard they were both in the Alps in a similar area :roll:

well one or other of them has moved .........
200km apart and god knows where you would be coming from to get to Alpes D'Huez via Annecy - except Switzerland

Pre xmas 1986 was pretty epic snow.
Can't compare directly with this year. It certainly started earlier. Skiing back to resort in Tignes in November and the whole resort was snow covered early December.
The snow was pretty much down to Bourg st Maurice by about 2nd week December and Les Arcs was fully open from it's first w/end which would have been about 15th dec. ish, about, approximately!
Year before early season was c***, year after was c***.

what about April .........

???????

Easter skiing is divine in the sunshine :D

Most people I know consider skis or a board quite important.
Don't forget those ......
