OldAndy gives a good overview here http://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/list/11775.page#104945

Enjoyed L2A, hoping to go back next year.

My advice would be to avoid any green runs. A lot of them seem to be flat for massive parts of them :-(

Ah great advice thank you. really getting quite worried though as looking at the forecast there saying temperatures as high as 10 degrees plus next weekend and no real snow fall anytime soon. by that time it will mean there has been no significant for a month and really quite warm weather to come. really not what i wanted to hear and was my biggest fear all along in regard to skiing in march.........

just hope the forecasts are wrong and there is still decent snow when we go in march.... ( i appreciate there is the glacier but went for here due to decent ski in ski out hotel )

fingers crossed people and lets do the snow dance.

Thanks for that. was my fear that the resort could be gettin icy having been so cold and not a great deal of fresh snow falling recently.
was it still enjoyable ??? whats your overall review...

fingers crossed for some fresh snow.soon.

Hi there. anyone in or recently returned from l2a ? hearing that things are getting a bit hard and packed due to traffic and no real fresh snow fall for a few weeks. plus now is the peak season with the english and french schools being on there holiday.


any first hadn reports would be appreciated

Need some advice . looking at our flight times we land and around 9.30am and should be in the resort for 12.30 ish. i have seen they do half day lift passes and they start from 1.30. this would be a real bonus as we get a few hours added skiing but i also thought to really make the most of it why not get my partner some ski tuition to hopefully help build her confidence and start the holiday on a positive. ready for our first full day sunday. can anyone offer advice as.to where to go or whether they think this is a good idea ???? many thanks.

ps dumping.it down again for the second weekend.running now juat hope it continues for the rest of this month so march is as good as jan has been and feb looks to be.

For me having nver been there it does raise slight concern regarding the wind ? does l2a suffer from winds all season ?

Think there's plenty to go round. We know a few people who live in resort and they're posting pics on Facebook after Friday's snow and it's immense. 6 more sleeps.... :-)

sounds great. any chance you could copy and paste a few ? always great to get first had views. forecast said only a fewcm but others are sayin that maybe more has fell. i got a dump alert through a sno app on my phone saying 20cm.

ha ha ha please leave some. nice to see a few flurries on the radar. still a while till i go so not getting too excited yet. lets just hope the decent weather continues.

have been keeping an eye on the weather my only concern would be if there was no.new.snow that fell the old stuff can get a bit sugary. of course the pisters will keep it where it should be but just hope for everyones sake thetes a few more dumps. would be a shame after such a great start to tge season.
