Reply to Tom and company. I think you realise that it is best to stay in the center of Alpe d'Huez rather than the edges and satelites resorts. We didnt have any problems with closing lifts etc. If something was closed for reasons-wind wisibility etc., you can just ski to the other corner of Alpe d'Huez. You are right that the the interactive map was not very precise but this is a mountain and weather changes many times during the each day. We used the gondolas to 2800m only on our last 2 days .From the DMF gondola if we see that the big one your end is moving up we quickly go towards it and take it. If it was not working we stayed with the center. Actually we managed to ski almost everywhere for the 2-3 days skiing. Again snow below 1600m was not for own skis just for hire one because of many paches and rolling small rocks which damage the skis all the way from top to bottom when touching the bases. Alpe d'Huez being resort with only south facing slopes will suffer from ice in the morning or melting faster that in other places but it is briliant for a family with wife skier who is slower and less chalenging and prefer runs with perfect views all day long. In Feb we are looking forward for testing the blacks up there and the Tunnel. My kids can wait another month.
Bad points from Tom and Co but the weather is very bad this season and lower resorts always suffer in situation like this. We were ready to go skiing before the New Year but held it until I saw tha weather forecast for definite snow coming and then quickly booked just from 1st until 4th Jan and this way we avoided the icy slopes everywhere and very thin cover up to the 1st of the month. Even in the last moment we had quite a good choice of accomodation and it was not expensive at all.
Alpe d'Huez is probably the best resort to go now (in Europe of course) and in the next few days until the snow falls everywhere. If you want alot of powder - head accross the pond.
Wondering if they are any forums for this resord with more traffic.
If Yes PLEASE POST THEM ON THIS SITE.

regards
skibum and family
