 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Heading to L2A next week, kids are on at me to take them on their first black run. So, do you have a recommendation for one, or ones we should avoid? Something groomed and wide would be good. Thanks.

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

Diable. Short, straightforward, ticks the 'I've done a black run' box.

Just to get clear (I pulled out the piste map still sitting on the table next to me, as I had a sneaking suspicion) - turns out I meant just the top section under the super diable lift. The full diable run to the bottom of the hill is quite long - and you're committed to seeing it through.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

It doesn't answer your question, but basically I think you should be teaching them that 'black run' doesn't really mean anything.
A blue run is nothing until you've skied it top-to-bottom without error
A red run is nothing until you've skied it top-to-bottom without error
A black run is nothing until you've skied it top-to-bottom without error
Lots of people get off on challenging themselves to a black. A black doesn't have to be difficult, in its own right. What's difficult is skiing that black the way it's meant to be skied. Simply making it down alive doesn't prove anything.

@dp, Yep, agree with all that. They can do all of the above. Just want, if possible, for the first one to be at the easier end of the scale.

@4D6174, you might find clips of certain runs on youtube. That can sometimes be helpful.
