For the Easter weekend the French work holiday was recognized on Monday so we decided to take advantage of this extended weekend and get one last ski trip in.
A good choice was The Three Valleys, the largest ski area in the world. A good choice because of the higher elevation these resorts offer, considering spring snow conditions. We found it hard to believe, but pleasantly surprised, that the snow could be this good, this time of year. It was excellent.
We left home early on Saturday to allow for an afternoon of skiing. But unfortunately, visibility on the mountain was terrible due to heavy fog. We could barely see the ground in front of us, and after two runs down the mountain, we gave up. In addition it was snowing fairly hard, but one bright spot in all this was that it snowed all night. Several inches of fresh powder awaited us the next morning.
By Sunday morning visibility was somewhat better and improved throughout the day. We stayed in Les Menuires and skied the resorts of Les Menuires, Val Thorens, Méribel, and Courchevel.
The Three Valleys have 372 miles of trails, not counting the unbelievable off trail skiable terrain and 180 lifts (not a typo).
