Hobbit: that's the plan for most of it, indeed.
I'm thinking along the lines of snowmobiling/husky balades/heli rides. Can anyone recommend these? Anything else of that sort of thing or other?
Groom is a huge ice hockey fan, so perhaps we can work that in somehow: seems Les Gets has an ice hocket team, perhaps they'll have a game on one of the night we're staying there...

alexandicity, if you're all skiers, hire boards and get a two-hour lesson.

alexandicity, Morzine have a hockey team. I didn't know Les Gets had a proper ice rink?
Heli rides? maybe a tour of the mountains.
There used to be snow mobiling in Avoriaz.
Not aware of any dog related fun.

Always wonder where my social development went wrong. My idea of a perfect stag party would consist of the following factors:
1.Total time involved <12 hours
2.Total financial commitment <£150
3.Drinks, activity, supper....done 
Is it just me that I don't particularly fancy spending 4-5 days and c.£1000 doing something that involves no female company other than strippers?
I'd love to add ....'I must be getting old', but I've always felt this way. I love a great evening out with friends and some/plenty of booze but the whole scale of the 'stag party thing' leaves me a bit cold.

+1 I think stag and hen parties have just got utterly ridiculous. (Elderly, I know).

foxtrotzulu, what is you, like a 100 blud? 
under a new name, blow isn't weed son, its coke and at a guess, he may need it to get his money's worth!
alexandicity, Heli skiing, heli tour, biathlon, ice diving if you want something really different.
I think I'd go with fatbob's tip and hire a few of these http://tinyurl.com/q29vp3k

Gainz, interesting, laddie, in my day, round my gaff, "blow" was weed. Hey ho, maybe a local thing?
Heli skiing complicated from Morzine. You'd have to fly to and from Italy.
Not convinced anyone does biathlon (they do in Chamonix)

Stag do in a ski resort?? That would eliminate a lot more than 90% of my mates on cost and interest alone, but hey-ho. Do you have a whitening rather than a blackening???

I was thinking of setting up a ski rally/scavanger hunt but tbh I'm not sure how I can make that fun..!

Have two (or more) teams, photographic evidence at various points around the resort with different point scores for different things. Include non ski things like having a girl sign your body with a felt tip pen (different points for different parts) then everyone submits their claims at dinner and you have a winner.

Tiger2, that's a fun idea, liking that.
alexandicity, in the (good) old days we saisonnaires used to have a round the "circuit" race, with challenges and forfeits at various stations. You wouldn't easily arrange the staffing of such things but a bit of organisation the day before by the you could result in some fun and games. Weather dependent you could incorporate some tandem flying for example to get from Super Morzine back to town at the end.
(The "Circuit" is a more or less day's ski around the core PDS stations. Classic route being Morzine-Avoriaz-Les Crosets-Champoussin-Morgins-Chatel-Avoriaz-Morzine - alternative route being the other way round)
If the Sundance in Les Crosets (is still open and) still has waitresses in miniskirts for example, you could get up to all sorts of naughtiness.
If skiing wasn't such an inherently dangerous sport I'd suggest a pub crawl of the PDS but that would be grossly irresponsible of me. Wouldn't it? Has a nice ring to it though, "80kms, 80 shots"... maybe more realistically, "8 stations, 8 shots"
Adn there is a company that rents out 80s one piece suits for at least the groom to be to wear...

Any ideas for small things we can do on the pistes while we ski? I'm going out a few days in advance so I was thinking of setting up a ski rally/scavanger hunt but tbh I'm not sure how I can make that fun..! Lose an item of clothing on each piste: fun until the clouds roll in  |
No mention of standard, but what about hiring a guide for a day and getting some proper off-piste in? If you've not done that before it'll certainly be memorable.

My stag do was in Zell am See, but in the summertime, because my brother was working out there and couldn't get time off to come back to the UK. We flew into Munich and he met us there. We found our way to the minibus taxi but just as I was getting in he told me that I had a different mode of transport.
He'd called in a few favours with the hire car place and got us a BMW Z3 soft top. We cruised off into the mountains listening to a plailst he'd put together from when we grew up. It was epic.
Obviously soft top car in the winter is different BUT something to do with upscaling the transfer is good. Also, not worth bothering with return transfer, too knackered by then to care.

A mate of mine organises mountain biking on the snow after the lifts have shut. Skido up and cycle down the piste in the dark. Not done it myself but supposed to be great fun and I would imagine memorable.
I'd also be doing the tandem flight down from Super Morzine down to town at the end of the day. Very memorable of never done before and if the conditions are right the guys could scare the life out of the stag on the way down!

stay in a mountain hut for the night after a day tour/ offpiste with a guide .... if you arent all good enough to ski with a guide, snow shoe and o/night stay in hut .... the rally cars on ice like at Val Thorens.... the ski circuit thing..... tandem flight..... ice diving ..... ice climbing/lessons ..... the getting pissed in the evening is a given but there is sooo much more...... dig out your own snow holes and stay in them, maybe learn how to do them first .... ice bar ?
