From a French speaking member (but used to speak English) and to be honest... You have done a very good job. I do not make any effort when reading the news. I don't know if it's because I already have read it in French
but I don't think so. However who knows...it would be probably better to get feedbacks from non French speaking members.
Just one suggestion for the "Welcome In La Plagne" section :
"This site is only about the french resort..." could be "This site is dedicated to the french resort..." just to fit
with the french version.
but I don't think so. However who knows...it would be probably better to get feedbacks from non French speaking members.

A bientôt sur les pistes... quoi que hors piste c'est bien aussi !

Honestly speaking your translations are really good.
The information is clear and easy to understand.
Some of your grammatical style makes it clear that English is not your first language, but this is only a small point, as many native English speakers make similar mistakes.
e.g.
You wrote:
"Works of the Bergerie 6-seater chairlift have begun. ..."
Whilst this is not wrong; I would write:
"Work has begun on the Bergerie 6-seater chairlift. ..."
I think everyone who is passionate about la Plagne will be more interested in clear information than fine grammar.
Your hard work is really appreciated - many thanks.
