Easter Boarding
 
I'm considering a late break to the Alps, probably the week after Easter.
Where would you suggest. Was thinking of Tignes or Chamonix but I'm open to
suggestions. What's the conditions like this late on in the season.

Help

Tignes will almost certainly be good still. The Grande Motte
definitely will. The conditions are generally hard and icy until
about 11-12 then great for a few hours getting slushy around 16h00.
If you're lucky you can still get reasonable dumps of fresh stuff too.
Slush is fun on a board though.

Cheers.
Iain.
