In reply to Jackob:
Just back from last week in L'Argentiere LB and report mixed fortunes.
Not many places have good conditions, but we found plenty in good nick to do.
Fournel is fine at end of valley and the Grand Bleu routes, but the road is very icy indeed. Hiroshima and Marco Polo all but melted away in the early week thaw.
Ceillac is better than suggested, though F d C is not in. Sombre Heros needs more time but was thickening. All other routes are fine. Vermicelle is in excellent condition (used to be the last to form!) though is at VS grade (Very Stepped!)
Crevoux (Cascade de Razis) good too but busy.
Other suspects like Fressinieres and La Grave are reportedly not encouraging, so we didn't visit.
We did some cracking sunny rock on 2 days though!
