Well, the affair started in January 2010, when a friend of mine made me going for Le2Alpes for the first time. Simply told - I fell in love then.... grin and could not resist going there again and again ... in winter…

But, triple Le2Alpes winter experience proven itself to be so thrilling, that I could not help myself but to book for a summer ride there.

Just got a confirmation - a week from 16th to 23rd June just does it.

Anyone already experienced summer skiing in the morning and biking afternoons?

I’ve not done both but it sounds like a plan. Mid June is a good idea, you may still be able to ski lower down than the glacier and it will be less icy. The mountain biking looks pretty wild, a bit out of my comfort zone to be honest, have you seen some of the drop offs? Even the singles are pretty steep. I’ve cycled up to the glacier in the past but that was before they had any mountain bike oriented trails.

I will be there for the opening w/e with my 7 year old for our last ski day of the 2011/2012 season, weather and snow permitting.

Here we go again.... short field report: above 2400m significatly more snow than last year same time, Toura station easily skiable from above.

Yesterday we had a real summer feel, while today the freeze was biting even more than January.... such a version of summer I love sooooo much....

More news to folow.

That’s good news. I was hoping to get up last weekend but have been in the West of France for a few weeks. Maybe next weekend if I can get back on the Sunday so hearing it is open down to 2400 still is great news.
