All
Does anyone have any information on the new lifts that are being installed at 1650 and whether they will be operational for this season.
I have had a surf around the net but cannot find any detailed information on how the construction is coming along.
Cheers
Sheila

Thanks, I did see that they had a little about the new lifts but not that much really.
Thanks for replying.

chrisb, 2 gondolas out of 1650? hmmmmm I would rather have them replace those Pyramide drag lifts higher up, those runs next to them seemed great.

Raceplate, Thanks, it makes sense. Some of the lower runs on the very left of the piste map will be more suited for repeated rides now.
Still it will be nice if they could replace Pyramide drags.

Whilst part of me agrees with the comment on the pryramide drag, the other part is glad it is a drag as it keeps one of my favourite runs quiet!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Wow long red Creux from the top of Courchevel now re-graded to blue.
Quite a big change. I would agree with most of the run but the very very top is quite steep.

I did a double take on that but didn't go back to check; IMHO it's always been more blue than red because there's no great surprises, however might make it even busier. I have a love hate relationship with the run, when it's empty it can be sublime but full it's a nightmare.

New Bouc Blanc chair above La Tania - new toilets at the base station
Removal of the Crêtes chair
Removal of the Col de la Loze chair
Removal of Praz Juget drag
Removal of the top section of the Bouc Blanc drag (the bottom section now renamed to Stade)
In addition there are the following changes:
Creux re-graded from red to blue (can be seen on the bottom 2 pics)
Creux Lac re-graded from red to blue
Mur re-graded from red to black (see bottom pics)
New Lanches section of piste at top of new Bouc Blanc chair
New Tétras piste from the Chapelets chair over in 1650
New Altipôle piste linking across to Mur and around Cave des Creux
Rama piste no longer marked - now part of the bottom of the Park City piste
Turcs pistes is no longer marked as Park City is extended at the top and the piste is now all red. Turcs was regularly groomed and although quite steep it was wide & smooth, often making it one of the easiest black runs, great for giving confidence to those with that "black run fear factor" blocker.
Crêtes piste removed as the Arolles blue piste down to La Tania is extendedSee more
