Current snow conditions in La Plagne

Tim Wilson, our highly seasoned seasonnaire, heads out to La Plagne for another eventful winter and gives us a first hand snow report of the conditions for all you lucky readers heading out over the festive season. Enjoy!

Well it’s the start of another winter in the French Alps. As Erna Low’s Resort Manager for La Plagne in the Paradiski area, I am busy preparing for the first arrivals.

The set up period is busy for all the tour operators and the fact that I’ve been here the 2 previous seasons gives me a great advantage.

Catching up with all our suppliers and checking for any new procedures or activities is the order of the day. That doesn’t mean I haven’t had chance to get a few runs on the mountain…. Of course, it’s an important part of my job to know the current conditions and where’s good to ski etc

Looking over to Courchevel from La Plagne

 It’s been very cold for the last few days and the snow cannons have been working to build a good base and ensure that the opening of the Paradiski link is a success.

The on piste conditions at high altitude are surprisingly good in places and hopefully this current snowfall will be a bit heavier lower down.

Back with more soon,

Tim
