The blue run down to the village (Guy Perillat) is still just open

Its 16 degrees out here in La Clusaz now so only a matter of time before a few more parts close - but should be OK for the weekend.

Don't forget this year was particularly warm which is not the norm, normally March is a good month to ski with warm days and cold evenings although I have never been tempted to ski April.
Is that good for a thirty day month ??
Not quite sure what you mean.
But perhaps I should clarify what I meant...
I have skied in France for a whole week 6 times in April, so in fact around 40 days.
Grand Massif 3 weeks
Les Saisies 1 week
Val Thorens 1 week
Puy St Vincent 1 week (with a day in Serre Chevalier)
Edit: never in La Clusaz which is where this thread is about....
But I've driven home that way in 2nd week of April and seen the runs back into resort open - so it's not always bad.
Dids keep up, I was pulling your chain :wink:

Got back today and the skiing in Chamonix was brilliant, so toowas Les Contamines and the only part of MEgeve still open was Cote 2000 so we did that 2x days as well. On arrival I was feeling a bit gutted that Megeve was mostly closed ! Chamonix was awesome though.
However, I plan never to go skiing again March/April , snow is too risky. Dec - end of February I when i will go next season.

Have skied in April 6 times - never had a problem, with most runs open and good snow cover.
Have always maintained it's a fantastic time to ski - but this season is definitely not good.
Worst snow we ever had was February 2007, and we regretted not going at Easter as it snowed later that season.
This year we've had to give it a miss and quite relieved as we'd be going this weekend.

Every year it seems to be getting warmer and warmer, earlier. 3 yrs ago in March the snow was fantastic and each year since it has got less and less end of March !!
