Deux Alpes Snow Report: 11th April 2014

Still enough snow to ski back into resort :-)

featured in Snow report Author Ellie Mahoney, Les 2 Alpes Editor Updated

There's reat snow everywhere still, even though we're almost in the middle of April - bonus!

Rod from BASS has sent us this update:

As you can see from the photos the Cretes area (and everything above) still has excellent snow :)

It is still possible to ski back to resort; the Valentine piste in particular is in good condition and generally after lunch folks are skiing high to avoid the slushier snow lower down. North facing runs like Thuit and Bellcome and La Fee sector take longer to soften up so are also good in the afternoon - this is a week when it pays to consider the aspect as well as the heights of slopes.

The Valley Blanche (the "other side") closes this weekend, which is normal for it to close ahead of the main ski area. Also new from this weekend you will be able to put your bike on the Venosc lift to travel back up - the downhill VTT track was 'cleared' about a week ago so you could descend, but there was no means of returning with your bike except by car so it hasn't really been used much yet.

..

The weather for the next 5 days is looking pretty sunny, although there might be a bit of light rain dotted about which hopefully at the upper reaches of resort might turn into a few small snow flurries - fingers crossed!
