Checkout the ski club website (in my sig) for historical snow reports. Of the three you suggest Avoriaz is the lower and least likely to get late snow, Chamonix has the highest slopes but Flaine, nestling in its own natural bowl(s) tends to get, and keep, more snow late in the season. -- Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

Hi
I have skied at Flaine as late as 25th April and there was snow, although it was typical "spring skiing" ( hard in morning, good around midday and "gloppy" in the afternoon). There was still limited skiing at Chamonix until May bank holiday this year (although I thought the lift prices were extortionate for what was available). Overall if you are going early April I think you should get some skiing - check the local websites to see when lifts are scheduled to close. Hope this helps Andy "Abairsty" wrote in message ...
