Just wondering if anyone was planning on going on the back country course with Snoworks on the 22nd Feb in Val, or 1st March in Cormayeur?
Does anyone have any thoughts on which location is best for this sort of trip?
Thanks!

@capability, I've done a few snoworks courses and will be doing the Gressoney Backcountry trip 1st February, fully booked I believe but I managed to get on it having sourced my own accommodation.
With good snow both are awesome, but points that IMO go against EK, it's French school holidays, if there's good snow it will get tracked out quickly but I'd expect the Snoworks guys to find you the best snow possible. Courmeyeur is the gateway to some awesome off piste. In comparison (the resort) is tiny compared to the EK. Last year none half term when I was on the course we still be down fresh tracks in the EK but on most of the 'classic' routes there'd be plenty of others too.
Depends on your ability too I guess to a certain extent? Have you done a SW course before?
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

courmayour gives you access to the valle blanche and other great off piste routes , also a nice ski town with great pizza (the tunnel
Some good points for the EK - I've been there a few times so it would be good to see another part of the Alps. I think I'll go for the Courmayeur trip. I think I'm a level 4 on their scale....
Do you know what the approximate age / range is typically? It would be good to have similar aged people to ski with. I'm 27.
Really looking forward to it!
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

As to age range - I went on a Snoworks course recently and was definitely towards the younger end of the demographic (being a child of the early 70s). It seems Snoworks has a loyal returning customer base.
Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

@RandomSkier, oh right! I would really be on the younger end then!

@capability, that was mainly the level 6 group
You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

@capability, i have done a couple of sw courses and you would be defo on of the youngest , but everyone very friendly and a good laugh to be sure . give linda in the office a ring and she will tell you what the demographic is likely to be for the week
