We are off to La Plagne 5th March for the week, was waiting as long as possible to see if there was better forecast in Italy but our usual haunt sauze not doing too good on the snow front so we've opted for France
Any tips for la plagne 1800 I hear the paradiski ski area is great skiing and snowfall excellent at the moment
Would like to hear about the village places to eat and drink etc and is it easy access to la plagne centre any info welcome

Just returned from Sauze yesterday amazing conditions best there has been there was a huge dump of snow even at low town level on 22nd Feb there topped up again at the top of mountain, San sicario great and sestriere too so I reckon you will be ok the temperatures are cold too at the moment

Going to Sauze D'Oulx 22nd feb 4 more sleeps

Very interesting read thru from your sauze holiday enjoyed looking at the pictures and videos looked like you all had a good time, it was a shame about the lack of snow to begin with I shrink as you say it's about luck of the draw with timings, ive been to sauze 5 times and I'm just about to go again on Sunday and out of the 5 I have been 1 has been a bit low on snow I've been January February and march and I think march has been the better month albeit early march though! They have just had a 2 feet dumping of snow on Monday and looks like more snow due! We are staying at stella alpina which we booked thru neilsens as it was cheaper this year to book a package holiday that the separate flight hotel and hired car plus we especially wanted to stay at stella alpina and could not book independently this year I think the lady Caroline has to give all her allocation to the tour operators and if they don't sell then she gets the allocation back, I know this first hand by speaking to her in the bar when I was there before. It was good reading about San sicario runs as these are our favourites and on a sunny day you are always skiing in the sun that side of the mountain we also love the sestriere more challenging. I will let you know how we get on so can't wait for Sunday it's my 50th birthday with a group of 14

Heads up you guys just found out ..new chairlift from Chalet Molino to the top of Triplex, should help the bottle neck at Sportinia, as there will be 2 chairlifts going to the top now. This is good news as last trip I went on this was a real problem for queuing to get on chairlift, if I hear anymore I will post here.
I've booked to go in February so will be interested in feedback from you guys going in January !

I skied for a morning in les 2 alpes ilast summer was ok but have to start early 7am till 12pm 1pm latest as it gets warm and piste gets icy slushy it was also very foggy on the day I went so visibility not great, it's not a vast area ok for summer ski legs practice but not much more really not like winter skiing !
We went for Tour de France cycling so just tried the skiing as we were there anyway, it's ok if you are combining the skiing with other activities but not cheap either. They have prices on les 2 alpes website.
