Default February Half-term - crowds

The "Grand Massif" has been really cleverly arranged. Of course blues
will be crowded at some hours, but if you choose your pists correctly,
and your lifts, you won't be stuck in a huge queue.
For those who go to Flaine/Morillon/Les carroz, avoid the "Les
molliets" lift, especially when it's 4pm or 4pm30.


Even there, and at busy periods, it rarely gets worse than a five
minute queue. Compared with the sorts of delays you get in some other
areas it's nothing at all.

Which raises an interesting point: Which is the worst resort for
queues? My first thought says the three valleys, notably trying to
return late in the day to Val Thorens via Meribel/Mottaret.

Anyone got any worse ideas?
