Sounds fantastic! However, it says "return at 7.30 am" and I doubt you'd be allowed to ski down - the pistes will still technically be closed. In Les Saisies, and maybe other places, you can join the pisteurs when they open up the pistes in the morning - I did it, and it was great. They go down and check the piste grooming is OK - mark any dodgy bits, check that the lateral marks have not been knocked down, etc etc. You could maybe enquire whether you could do something of the kind. But your partner might not appreciate being left alone - unless the driver of the piste basher is particularly charming.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

But if I'm already gone by the time they arrive, what can they do? I've toured up before and skied down at night so I don't see too much difference. Or similarly, I've stayed up high until after last lifts and then skied down so thats no different. Please don't mistake me for being argumentative btw.
To be honest, I think said partner's feelings will probably be the decisive factor. The only way I can imagine pulling it off is if I wait for pickup and then take off once I know she's been safely collected  !
Like you said, may be worth enquiring..

 You've answered your own question, @Ryunis. I thought this was meant to be a romantic interlude?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You'll leave her in a particularly difficult spot if she's confronted by a grumpy pisteur and she doesn't speak French.

Of course, if she's pee'd off with you, and he's charming, they might get on well.......

@pam w, So how do you get to join the pisteurs in LS then?

They have a regular morning when people can go. Sign up the day before. It's a great experience - though you do need to speak a bit of French to get the most out of it. My guy had no English.

You know it makes sense.
|

so maybe have a potty, in case there's a blizzard when you need to pee in the night?

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

Even without a blizzard, outside in winter at 2500m could conceivably be down to about -30.
