 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I'm heading out to Les Gets with a group of decent intermediates on Friday night, skiing from Saturday morning.
Excited by the conditions and the forecast!
On the other hand, if it's still tipping solidly out of the sky on Saturday morning and there's no visibility, we may be a bit challenged at first, since we don't know the area at all. So, where in Les Gets or Morzine would you head for if it's whiting out? Can you suggest some nice tree-lined bits where we'll have a chance of seeing where we're going? We'll be starting from the bottom of the Perrieres express lift.
Related question: how black are the various blacks? I've heard it said that the ones down from La Rosta are on the gentler side and the ones on Mont Chery are more testing - does that sound right, and any useful advice about how they are at the moment?
Cheers,
Jim

My memory of Morzine/les Gets is that there are a lot of tree lined runs, the upside of a lower altitude resort. I can't remember piste names but most of the lower pistes are well inter-linked and run through the trees. I loved Mt Chery....had some great fun on the ungroomed blacks after a huge snowfall. You should have a good time

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

All but the highest three or four hundred metres of les gets are treelined runs.
For the forecasted weather, you probably couldn't have chosen better if nice gentle wide runs with trees are your thing

Agreed. Les Gets is very good for skiing below the tree line. Mont Chery probably best saved for a sunny day. The two blacks on Mont Chery were quite chopped up on Sunday with a fair amount of vegetation poking through, but shouldn't be a problem come this weekend (might still be quite chopped up!).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I think I might be there doing a bit of chopping.

As above, there are plenty of beautiful tree lined runs in the Les Gets/Morzine area. In fact last year, when staying in Avoriaz, we headed to this area on the days when it was snowing.
