The snow conditions weren't great with slush on the lower runs in the afternoon and icy conditions early morning. The lower runs (which tended to be blue and green runs) were pretty much unskiable after lunch.
I wouldn't go back to Alpe d'Huez as, in my opinion, the 3 Valleys resorts and Val d'Isere are much better from a skiing point of view. The problem is that most of the upper runs (the reds and blacks) are primarily serviced by cable cars and gondolas with the resulting queing, clipping/unclipping skis and being packed in like sardines ensuing.
