Today we were in 'Les 3 Vallees' and found more good spring snow early in the day on La Masse and a little later in the Val Thorens area and on Mont Vallon before heading over to Courchevel 1650 and back to Les Menuires on a tour of the whole domain. Did quite a few kilometres today both on and off piste. The early start made sure we had some good spring snow off piste, then as the day progressed we returned to the pistes to stay safe and everywhere we went seemed to have become very soft and slushy.

Overall we thought the 'Les 3 Vallees' domain was in good condition in the higher areas of Val Thorens, Mont Vallon, parts of La Masse and at the top of Les Menuires and even some areas of Courchevel earlier in the day. But lower down into all the stations we visited except Val Thorens there were many bare areas. We also came across a number of closed pistes in all areas. Courchevel 1650 was very difficult to reach on skis. Going into Courchevel 1850 and Meribel were also not that great. The same for Mottaret and Les Menuires.

Best advice for anyone coming out, stay high! We will be back again soon as there are still plenty of places to go for some fun!
