Conditions are very poor in the southern French Alps - no fresh snow since Christmas. 9 out of 10 blacks closed in the linked Risoul/Vars domain, 24 out of 37 reds closed, 10 out of 40 blues. ie anything steep is in terrible condition. Base just 45 cms at resort level (1850m). 55cms at altitude (2750m). If you have any choice I would head for the northern Alps, (La Rosière has great snow at the moment), or the Pyrenees... even the centre of France, the Massif Central, is in great nick (Mont Dore with 1m50 at resort level, 2m30 at altitude).
