stedlocks, You chose well. Probably best location in La Plagne for getting around the whole resort. Snowing very heavily over there right now. It will hold and you will have a ball

stedlocks, my first trip to LP next week. Check earlier posts on this forum - sounds like La Saloon and le Maitre Kanter are the bars to invest in.

La Plagne was just brillant with one small hiccup. The hiccup was Champagny. We were told the red, Mont De La Guerre, was supposed to be good but in my book one of the dullest reds I have ever experienced Polling on a red, you are having a laugh    ) made worse by the last green grassy slope being left open and screwing my skis up. Cost us 60 euro to get both ours serviced after. I had to take my skis of and walk down. |
We were down in that area last Tuesday. Mont De La Guerre was shut (& you could see why from the bottom! Just as you described - I'm surprised it was opened two days later...) so we went down Bois. Again, not the nicest of runs, but it wasn't helped by the conditions (bit bald in patches, & quite icy). In softer snow, it would've been quite fun, I suppose, but I wouldn't say it was worth a special journey... Pretty towards the bottom, though, & we did see a cute squirrel

...the snow when we went last Thursday was amazing above 1500m and boy was it warm.
Highlight of the day though was Les Inversions followed by Les Crozats off the top of Roche del Mio. I was crying by the end my thighs were burning so hard but just a great, great set of runs.
|
We did those runs on Thursday as well! It was just lovely, wasn't it! I think that may well have been my highlight of a totally wonderful week

thefatcontroller, I have a leaflet called Paradiski - mode d emploi which lists lots of alternatives A lot of them use the drag lift network, many of which are the original lifts of course. Near us there is the Fornelet chairlift, but also the original Forenelet draglift is still in use and often when the ski schools are around can be a lot quicker.
There is a really good shortcut that avoids the Coloses chair and also one for us that avoids PB altogether, I'll post them later when I have a piste map because I can't remember the lift/piste names

boredsurfin, hey if you post all our little short cuts then everyone will know and they won't be short cuts any more but will be a "queue"!!!

Hi everyone, just posted on the other La Plagne thread, wish you guys could combine them together would be a lot better than having two threads for the same ski area. Sorry for complaining. Anyway, my question, has anyone skied the NF of Bellcote yet this season, I cannot believe I have not put a foot on it yet. After I leave Val Thorens I hope to come visit you guys soon. Anyone up for a quick trip off the back. The snow looks great from the cams I have seen.

boredsurfin, (LP continues to be the premier French ski resort) Yeah right!! just like we think Les Arcs is or Tignes or VT. But I still think for having a good chat it would be better to have everyone in the same place. When are you out next, we really must try and all meet up again. Quite a few snowheads out for Fed half term in Les Arcs.

snowcrazy, I was looking at Bellecote North Face through a telescope from my balcony in Plan Peisey this afternoon. It looked great! There were some new tracks down Le Couloir des Canadiens, and they must have been made yesterday or today. The cover looked excellent, as it is everywhere. Send me a PM when you get back from VT, & I'd love to join you. I'm here for most of the season....
Which reminds me, do you know anyone who has an Arva for sale? I must get my finger out & buy one.

fj, Good to hear from you, I really look forward to doing some of the routes again soon. I will be in touch in a week or so. (Avalanche kit) Try asking at tarantasia office in Vallandry, they sometimes sell the kit from last year. Otherwise bite the bullet and buy it down in bourg from Intersport. You need the whole kit, shovel, probes and Arva if you plan to come on any of our off piste trips when I get back. Speak soon. Cheers
