Loved it Tony....makes me want to go back again.....tomorrow. It is so good to be able to recognise the runs and the snow looked awesome. Guess I will make it top of my hit list for 2013/2014 :D

The whole Grand Massif will still be open, and the skiing still very good. Les Carroz has great slopes for developing intermediates and excellent tuition for beginners.

or carry on a bit through the tunnel to the Aosta Valley for Pila, Cormayeur, La Thuile all of which are quite hugh and still have bags of snow

Bald-eagleman off for a cheap week to Passo Tonale 5th April 2013 and Sansicario 6th April 2014...plus another tbc!!

Where am I ? or more to the point who cares. I should be near the top....and the bottom!! :lol:

I went to passo a few years ago very short runs a real up and down place, we spent most of our time there down the road at Ponti legno where the runs are a tad harder so it is not a place for Intermediates and above unless you don't mind jumping on the bus down the valley to Madonna, I found the hotel we stayed in to be very good.

Thanks Wickers....I have been before and totally agree....but as it is free!!!! it seemed foolish to turn it down...Not looking forward to the coach journey though! :(

La Thuile is good...long cruisy blues and reds, quiet...can ski over to La Rosiere on the same pass plus 2 days in Aosta Valley for Pila/Cormayeur etc. Easy to get transfers from either Geneva or Turin so Easyjet travel OK.
Planibel complex with 4 star hotel or apartments is 40 mtrs from gondola/lifts.

"In the UK we do not require UK only instructors to guide people in our hills but we do hope they have a good knowledge of the area."

BEM, you managed to perfectly contradict yourself. If effect your above statement is completely in agreement with the French law. There are no rules on nationality, only qualifications required. BASI 3 or above and or international mountain guide.

BUT ...why do you need to be qualified...AS AN INSTRUCTOR...It is nonsense!
