My only suggestion is are there any webcams in the resort that you could view? Would at least show if there is snow on the ground, but not the actual depth obviously.

I haven't been but if you do go, it would be really helpful if you could post a trip report afterwards. It all adds to the "knowledge bank" of the community, and is especially helpful for these lesser-known areas.

Welcome to the forum.
Why can't you take your snowboard (and also luggage?) to your hotel, then proceed to Versailles? Orly is south of Paris, and Versailles is west. It's easier to get to Versailles from central Paris than from Orly, particularly by train from Montparnasse station. I can't see that you'd save much time going direct to Versailles from Orly and you've got the added complication/expense of finding a way to get your snowboard delivered to your hotel. Won't you also have baggage? They won't let you into Versailles with baggage - they'll make you leave it in a cloakroom for security reasons (which you might have to pay for - I can't remember; it's been a while since I was there).

Ooh if you fall over Dave Mac we might see the Trossachs :-o

Admin - my picture uploaded fine but when I click on the drop down list of smileys it's just blank.

Here's a picture of Pila last March

Yes I'm looking into those as well based on your rave reviews -)

Thanks. This year we're restricted to school holidays :roll: so I'm researching different options.
