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?
Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

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
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.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

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.
Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

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?
