Fresh snow  fell in Oz the  beginning of March and the little guests of Chalet Jonquille were certainly enjoying it!

We had a great time:  Wonderful Chalet !
I think we had every weather - rain, fog, heavy snow, clear skies, fresh powder, ice, death cookies - which made it great fun!
Really enjoyed Montfrais area and la Fare down to Vaujany where the conditions were perfect and the slopes were empty.
La Sarenne was also fun - it took a while, being covered with giant moguls from top to bottom. (We found huge queues at the Pic Blanc lift, so we skied on round to Marmottes II, Marmottes III and Glacier, where there was no queue.)
We spent a day in the Alpe d'Huez snowpark where yet again, it was empty!
The pistes around Auris were also super (and empty !)
We visited Villard Reculas during a whiteout in which we couldn't even see our own skis. The lift operators were so surprised to see anyone that they had stopped the lift, but naturally they re-started it when we turned up.

A view from Alpette after we took cable car up to ski where some of us took a small hike across a ploughed area - views were fantastic

This was the great view from the chalet - great view of the mountain road…..
