It's the best snow I've seen in Les Arcs & La Plagne for many years

^ just hope it lasts until we get there! Have had to do Easter for the first time in a while due to the kids school dates, so if it's good now and they have more over the next few weeks then hopefully it should be OK as its high!

Off to Soldeu for the lads trip first week of March which should be decent as I think Andorra has had good snow! Only 4 days but I think that's about as much as I can take with the lads nowadays! Getting up with a hangover is getting harder and harder!!  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Would be interested to know what Soldeu is like - my daughter is booked to do an instructor course there mid-March - so was thinking of popping down there for Easter - I've never been to Andorra

There should still be plenty in Les Arcs - it's by far the deepest I've seen it

Theres been loads over the last few days & more forecast for tomorrow - the sun is due to make intermittent appearances next week

The skiing is pretty decent, the area stretches over to pas de la casa so gives a really good range of runs. It's not any where near as extensive as say 3 valleys but it's no where near the price. This will be the 3rd time I've been out there, as it offers great value. The main "resort" as such is Pas de la casa thou tbh that's a bit Benidorm on snow, soldeu is a little more laid back.

It's not as pretty as the alpine resorts but does what it says on the tin, and soldeu is prettier than pas which is like a concrete jungle, Also it's a tax haven....... Which is handy should you be resident there!

Looking forward to Les Arcs, and am in 1950 again, as its great for the kids! And the fattie just fits in the parking garage under the resort  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

As someone who has had to abandon skiing plans, I'd love to see some pics of the Range Rovers in the snow!

We're planning on driving to the alps next January now, do people put winter tyres on or just go armed with chains? 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

Depends on where you are going, in France winter tyres aren't mandatory, recommended but not mandatory. So I just chuck in a set of chains, have never had to fit them to the Rr though, used some on the Skoda once, just to get to the chalet as it was at the top of an icy road. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I Just go on normal m&S tyres and carry chains (as required by law) but have never used them, and I have been down in some Of the heaviest snowstorms.

I'm driving into London tomorrow.... To visit (amongst other things).. the ice bar....it's romantic.... I'm told! it's the nearest I get to skiing,
and I can't even drink alcohol. (Sort of)
