Our chalet Le Mouflon in La Rosiere 1850 is open although th resort is not due to open until the 16th Dec. We have often had early season guests who ski in Tignes or Val d'Isere, the glaciers at both resorts are open. So if you want an early season week at a really good price we're open for business. You can find full details on our website www.tracksvacations.com or email us on info@tracksvacations.com

it's been snowing for most of the day in La Rosiere 1850. Let's hope it doesn't melt.

Hedges59, if we can tempt you to France you'll find that La Rosiere is great for beginners, it's high, it's very snow-sure, holds the record for snowfall in France and the majority od slopes are south facing so it's usually sunny.
It gets good reviews for thr quality of the ski schools and the friendliness of the village. we are a little biased we have a chalet there and we've had lots of guests learn to ski, you can check out our website www.tracksvacations.com for full details or contact us on info@tracksvacations.com and we'll be happy to answer any questions you have. We still have some availability for w/c 11th Feb. Regards David Last Tracks Vacations |

We will be serving Xmas dinner at the usual time 7.30 - 8.00 pm I can't see why anyone would want to serve it earlier.

How long is a piece of string? Thing at's a very wide question, and how much do you want to spend. At the top end, you've got companies like Descente, SOS, North Face, Patagonia, Mover, Spyder etc all of whom sell very effective, hard wearing gear, usually made of the latest technical material and it's reflected in the price. So if you want a hardwearing outfit that will keep you warm and dry no matter what the weather will throw at you, go for one of the makes mentioned. However there are perfectly good clothing makers like Helly Hansen, Columbia, etc whose garments are almost as effective as the top manufacturers, they just don't use such expensive materials. You've then got own brands like Decathalon which be fine for average use. It's worth having a look at TKMaxx and Tchibo , you can find some remarkable bargains if you're prepared to search. Helly Hansen have an outlet store in Bicester where they discount heavily. So it depends how often you want to change your outfit, what your budget is and what you're looking for; fashion or function.

Jim, of any of the resorts in the Portes de Soliel, Avoriaz is most likely to have snow, it's the highest resort and it does seem to be the first to get decent snowfalls. The problem you have, is that without the links to the other lower resorts it can be a tad limiting. No such thing as guaranteed snow I'm afraid, wish there was, you'll just have to check the webcams and follow j2ski's snow reports..

depends when it is, if it's the 1st week of Jan. it isn't, if it's 1/2 term, New Year or Easter it is.
