Tignes - stay in Val Claret (not a lower village no matter what any tour operator says).

Best case most of the valley will be skiable as will link to Val D'Isere.
Worst case the glacier with 6 or 7 lifts and the run back to the resort.

Spring conditions - start on the east facing runs (Col Du Palet) until getting soft then move up higher onto the glacier. Depending on temperature and how late you ski either ski back from the glacier on Double M or come down the funicular to avoid knee deep slush.

Was there 2 seasons ago - last days skiing 1st May.

Other glacier resorts such as Val Thorens, L2A will also be OK - I don't know and hence cannot comment on the Swiss, Italian and Austrian high level resorts.

Go for it!!

When I disappeared into a pile of deep snow at the edge of a blue run, which I had no idea was there, and got snow up down and around all parts - as you do.....

All Ally did was laugh !!!!

People now moving all over the place as travelling to Tignes has well and truly started.

The American contingent is in Europe.
The Welsh contingent is partially in England with some bits still in Wales.
The Norfolk contingent is all in Norfolk until lunchtime.
The English contingent sounds like it is mostly in bed :roll:

Thank you one and all for your best wishes!

I'm still in Norfolk until 12.45 !!!

Then I am braving the train to Bourg St Maurice - could be interesting!!

I am sure the train counts as no more sleeps :mrgreen:

Oh - Felthorpe is still in Norfolk as well !!

Me off too !!

16th March it is then ......
