Yesterday Anne and I managed to ski across to the 4th Valley for the first time this season. It is ridiculous that it has taken this long to get there but we really have had a busy season so far. The staff managed to get a day skiing in La Plagne yesterday. They were able to access the area from Champagny which is about a half hour from La Tania/Meribel. They had a good day but felt it was very busy in the French school holidays. The snow is still in good condition here but the lower slopes are starting to pack down again with the clear days. We have really noticed a change in the seasons recently after an extended cold spell through the winter. With the good snow base over the whole mountain we are now looking forward to an excellent spring, hoping it may be similar to last year when we were able to ski back to Raffort on the last day of the season.
