Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Thanks!

@Floss, normally affects the race piste (Orange from the funival down to La Daille?) but you can still get down using other pistes - based on being in the area when there was some race or another being held

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

As nbt says the racing doesn't affect the slopes much, the EK is a very large area.

The Ski World Cup is also nice to watch. I believe it will the Womens downhill scheduled for the 11/13th. The bib draw for starting places takes place in the main street on a stage near the tourist office where they also hold the medal ceremonies the evening after the races.

Are you travelling alone or with a group?

If you're a reasonable standard skier PM me I arrive in Val d'isere from the 6th to 12th of December.

Almost not at all. Good atmosphere however.

It just makes getting round that bit of the EK a bit inconvenient. This year the artificial snow has been focussed on the race course - so the other routes to La Daille may be a bit thin. Face will remain closed until after the racing. Additionally watch out for Marmottes Express being closed during a race/training down OK Orange (so punters don't drop things on racers!!) which makes Mont Blanc a bit busy.

As UANN says - great atmosphere but wear all the clothes you have - most of the spectator areas are in the shade and it gets chilly v quick.
