Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Off Piste from La Rosiere

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Afternoon all,

I'm taking the family to La Ros on 29th March, I will be skiing the afternoons with the kids, but want to explore some off piste in the morning (conditions allowing)

So please tell me all you know about the best places to head for!

Fingers crossed the long range colder than average forecast comes off!

regards,

Greg

kitenski, the off-piste at the moment is superb, just about everywhere is good, we found fresh tracks today off the Blanchot piste. Your best bet is to book a day out with an instructor/guide, after the dump on Sunday and Monday the helis were really busy, but we had fresh snow in the Picollo San Bernardo and Fourcwlaz sectors.

kitenski, La Ros' is regarded by many as the worst resort to ski off piste in France. Enjoy the time with the kids and pop across to Chamonix for off piste.

kitenski, great photos, just off La Sivoliere for the first photo? Not sure where the last run is but I think it could be going down to the Bellecote drag from the north but of course everyone knows thare's no off-piste in La Rosiere.

yup, first two off La Sivoliere, last one is an "alternative" route down to Chardonnet chair/Bellecombe....

Now here's a trick question, in the last picture, final set of tracks, which ones were made by me on Scott Missions Wink

David@traxvax, What they need to do is devlop further the Sevoliere side and replace that bloody awful Sevoliere drag with a chair, and then that takes out of play the slog that is Escargot.

 You know it makes sense.
You know it makes sense.
What they need is some *insert naughty word* tree runs and/or cannons to keep fontaine froid open so I can ski trees when above trees is zero vis!

They really shouldn't touch the Sevoliere side, it's not often I've found such a nice patrolled off piste area.

Greg

kitenski, The Ecudets lift should have a mid station. It is the bottom half that suffers when warm. The best day I have ever had was on Ecudets and Fontaine Froid. For the first couple of hours we were just about the only people who had made it there due to the foul weather up top.

Foret is pretty through the trees, but there is a limit to how many times you can be garroted on a track.

cheers Frosty, not seen that report Smile

TBH the lack of places to ski in a serious whiteout would the major thing that would stop me going back to La Ros....

if you mean, looking at the picture as it's displayed, from left to right, then the 2nd set of tracks are mine. Quite pleased as I'm working on turning less!

kitenski,

what..?? the one with the big bomb hole in it..??

I mean the ones 2nd in from the right as you look up the hill.

based on..cos, I know you like to go first.. and you commit into the big banking turn which shoots a lot of snow out of the turn.

I have been watching a few of the videos today...trying to get some stills from them to make up a Chamois TR. I'll try and get
on with it as I have 3 tapes worth to splice together..

funnily enough Rob, I was saying Les Arcs/La Plagne would have trees....BUT

check lift pass prices, with the current exchange rate........

4 X 6 days Paradiski* family ski passes = 760€ full pass is a staggering £606 vs

La Ros "FAMILY ski pass" 6 days = 512,70 € = £408
