Ski-Concierge Ski report, La Plagne
We arrived in resort at lunchtime and by 2pm we were suited and booted and on the slopes. The La Plagne UCPA is ideally situated on the main slopes of La Plagne centre and within minutes of leaving the front door we were on the Colorado chairlift headi
ng up to take the Arnica blue run to warm up the limbs and blow away the cobwebs.
The weather was varied with snow flurries one minute and brief spells of sunshine the next. It’s the first time we’ve all visited La Plagne so we spent the afternoon familiarising ourselves with the area.
We headed up the Verdons Nord chairlift and took the long blue down into Aime La Plagne where the slopes were busier with more ski schools snaking down the pistes. We then went up the Brolley chair lift a couple of times and tried out the red runs coming down from either side. The snow conditions were really good, with a fresh layer of powder covering the slopes.
We finished our first afternoon’s skiing with another couple of trips up the Colarado chair lift, first coming back down the red run which was probably the w
orst run of the day snow wise, with large patches of ice, and then finished with another trip down the Milka blue run to end our day nicely.
Tomorrow we’ll head over to the Glacier de Bellecote, and then we may well try out the intrigueing looking free ride park we spotted under the Colarado chair lift. Fingers crossed for lots more snow overnight and blue skies in the morning!
