SNOW!

Hey all...me and a coupla buds are planning a trip to d'huez 10th march.. i know unless ur dads Michael Fish (British weatherman - non UK folk) u wont be able to guarantee anything, but could u perhaps shed any light on the chances of there being no snow at all! i'm obviously a newbie which means i know jack and i cant board for sh*t, so i dont wanna have to be up high on some crazy @ssed slope to get some snow..

any thoughts very welcome.. about to book!

StraightlineLyle,

You can keep up to date, on a daily basis, with snow depths at Alpe d'Huez on www.alpedhuez.com. There is plenty of skiing and boarding available and significant new snowfalls are imminent. I am sure that you will have no problems on the 10th March. I will be there at the same time.

Hiya, I have booked a trip to Alpe D?Huez a week or 2 before you (departing Gatwick on the 24th) so have been very interested in the snow reports! Although the season has, apparently, been less than great you will be pleased to know that snow reports indicate that it is snowing there right now! Also, the longer term forecast is for snow every day over the next week or so (with the exception of tomorrow)! Also, you mentioned that you?re a newbie!? I have never been to Alpe D?huez but reports from a few people who have been indicate that it is a great resort for the beginner or intermediate wanting to progress! Enjoy your week there! A

Now you can feel relax and enjoy your next holidays, because with all the snow falling since 3 days and the one on his way for the next week, you'll be fine !
Even if your trip is in a month, the snow should still be here and you'll be hooked !

Enjoy !
