We traveled to La Rosiere in Feb 2011. There had been little fresh snow for a month or so, but the resort was 95% open, with only the lower runs below the resort closed, and the runs down to resort getting pretty slushy in the afternoons. The snow came again with a vengeance as we left. Fantastic for kids. A six year old first timer ended up on the reds on her last day, and really felt like she'd conquered the mountain. La Ros is cheaper than almost anywhere else for lift passes etc, as it is not the biggest resort, particularly if the pass into Italy is closed. That said, if you are there with small kids, you are unlikely to cover hundreds of miles a day, unless you are the selfish type that doesn't see their kids between 8 & 5.30. We had ample time to get to Italy and back, in time to pick up our daughter after lunch, and then tootled about with her in the afternoons. Nearly car free, everywhere walkable, many chalets ski in / ski out and very friendly. If you are after a monstrous apres-ski / night scene, you will be disappointed, but there are plenty of drinking holes. An all round, family friendly resort. We're going again this year.
