Revision #1 (Last edited: 05/02/2010 @ 10:18) |
Booking up for an end of season joint for a week! could do with some advice for where to go at the end of March/April. Quite fancy going back to Avoriaz but not sure how the snow will be then?? Open to any suggestions pref in France/Switz though as i am booked up for Les Contamines for the 2nd week. 
Edit**
Looking for a good park and good atmosphere in the evening too! POW is just a bonus  |

what about Chamonix? Easyjet fly to Geneva then its only an hour and 20 mins transfer. Great resort and lively apres. There is a bit of everything really, from wide cruising runs at Le Tour to the park at Grand Montets. |

I went to Cham early april in 2004, flew to Geneva and the airport had snow ! so we got lots of snow on the empty slopes.however some of the ski areas close a week before others and the ski bus was unreliable ,probably due to lack of peeps. transfer time is only 1 hour, tignes is up to 4 from Geneva, but is a glacier resort. |

Argentiere if you wanted to do some off piste days with a guide, but Tignes probably better if you want a park. |
