Its more or less the end of the season here in La Plagne (France), and the snow park closed today, what do you do if your here for another 2 weeks?

What about you guys, hows your snow/park situation?

yeaaaah ......... ski off piste when the snow pack is crusty and sticky, nice one (Y) ........ spring skiing = softer snow = learn new tricks.

The park is closed smart guy. Doesn't get much better than working on the goggle tan and railing groomers on a sunny spring day.

Ski the steeper runs switch. There's a lot of stuff you can do outside of the terrain park. The kids I ski with will not leave the park and it pisses me off so much. A few of them ski powder with me, but some just chill in the park.

To the people saying "go ski powder dude!" you obviously have no idea what a awful situation the european resorts are in right now - they have had a pretty bad season this year - I've just got back from les arcs (just across the valley from la plange) and the snow is so bad in many places - 20C + and huge mud patches and rocks in the middle of the pistes.... powder isn't going to happen I think any time soon!

i'm leaving this weekend for a week in italy (southern alps were by far the worst this winter)
i think i'm gonna bring some shorts, a tshirt and my snowblades and a snorkel cause the snow looks so horrible ....

also slushy cliffs /bc kickers seem fun, definately gonna try and make a gaper edit if i can convince my friends :)

possibly combo it with GNAR (gnar never becomes "played out" !)

i think this is gonna be a fun week anyways :)

on a slightly related note, how many of you actually have parks that close before the mountain does? that seems odd.
