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 :-)

St Jean d'Aulps - advice needed

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
We are going to St Jean d'Aulps in March as my wife wants to do Snowga there (Snow & Yoga). I will probably be doing Sninking (Snow & Drinking), but for the Snow part, can someone assure me that the slopes there are lovely and wide? I've seen several videos of long linked rat runs disguising themselves as pistes? Does it have any long wide runs, or am I best getting the ski bus into Morzine every day?

It has some long wide runs and some long narrow ones. Is she worried the Snoga would block narrow ones?

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

she isn't worried about anything, its me that is worrying snowHead

I saw this video of le grande terche, which I assume is one of the longer runs, but it mostly seems to be linked goat tracks about 2-3m wide for most of the way, just hoping there is some skiing rather than just travelling

that's just one long run through the forest that descends to Chevrerie. There are lots of wide open runs in the bowl beneath the col du graydon and at the top of the gondola station.

The goat track run is mostly on the access road so plenty wide. The area is very scenic and snow usually ok, enough to entertain you a day or two, often a good choice in the school holidays when skiing Avoriaz is more of a contact sport. You will meet all the locals at Le Nationale bar in town.

Ah - Sninking on a narrow run - that is risky, you might spill some!

The run down to La Chevrerie is quite narrow in places but if skied steadily and in control (unlike the muppet on the video) is fine. The run back to the bottom of Grand Terche is mostly much wider though there are a few narrow bits but it is all pretty easy angled.

It is a great day out and as @Ribfin mentions often not too busy.

A very fine restaurant at the top of the chair from La Chevrerie - I recommend Sninking there.

That looks a lovely run, actually - though far too much "edge of control" stuff. Why do people film themselves being so idiotic? Perhaps he deletes the film of the runs where he actually mows somebody down?
