 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I've got myself a job in Val Cenis for this season. It wasn't exactly my first choice but beggers can't be chosers when they apply months late. I personally hadn't heard of it before and basically wandered what it's like, pow/park/snow sure/off slope action etc.

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

I've heard the snow can be badly affected by winds.
I think the skiing is mainly intermediate cruising.
Went there in the summer for 2 nights. It consists of two rather quiet villages, not really big on their apres ski. Just a couple of bars.
They have just built a link between Val Cenis and Termignon. This has made the area bigger.
Thats my limited knowledge!
Enjoy!

Ok thanks for the help, doesn't sound too hot on the old powder side of things, gay. I'll just have to hope for no wind. Anyone got any idea what the snowpark is like if there is one at all. I found one place claiming there was one and another saying there were 2 around. I'm assuming it's not going to be massive stuff if there is anything there.

Perhaps I gave the wrong impression - there was often very good powder everywhere, except on one visit on the exposed higher slopes (there was powder lower down).
Some of the pics I posted have nice powder and here is another from just up the valley a bit (in sight of Val Cenis) - see also the thread on the Maurienne (Val Cenis is in the Haute Maurienne).

snowball,
That thread may have been started in late 2007 but the latest photos appear to have been posted yesterday (hier) ??

Oh, OK, didn't see that. To save me looking again do they say the lift is finished?

You know it makes sense.

Someone call!
Yes it is no secret that I am a bit of a fan, not just of VC, but the whole valley. The link to Termignon will be complete in time for the start of this season, so that improves the size of the ski area (not that it was ever a problem)

Quite the opposite usually, and it doesn't get tracked out in hours (sometimes takes days!)
el nombre, send me a PM, and will be able to give you some more info, and also have a couple of contacts with regards to park/freestyle.

Yes, in the last of my photos (above) all the tracks were ours, despite it being more than a week after the last snow.
