6 day Flaine snow forecast

Stayed at Montsoleil apartments 17th-24th of March 2012. Overall, the best week's skiing I've ever had! We were extremely lucky with the weather. We had a day and a half of continuous snow at the beginning of the week followed by 4 bluebird days of scorching sun. We explored most of the pisted areas but only scratched the surface of the off-piste. With such a good base, I believe most of the dangerous terrain features were covered. There are a wide range of off-piste possibilities to suit a range of abilities and much of it is very easily accessed from the pistes. The resort was pretty empty at this stage of the season and we often found ourselves the only skiers on a piste. We did the run down to Sixt on the first day after the fresh snow and it was in good condition until the final few hundred metres which were icy. I would say it's only worth doing for the scenery though, the skiing is good in places but lots of pushing is required! Having not heard of Flaine before our visit I would now recommend it as one of the best places we've been and would certainly consider going back. The Montsoleil apartments looked to me to be the best accommodation available and we ended every day with a steam room, sauna and swim in the outdoor pool. The ski in-ski out was excellent and the lift to get back to the apartment stayed open until 5 which meant you could make use of the main lifts right until closing (4.45) so long as you burned it down the Tourmaline!
