@adithorp, damn... was convinced that was here !
Sigh. I obviously need to get out from behind my bar more often... ideally when the lifts are running !

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

@sucette, better than me: I've looked at dozens of these photos and only got one right, in time.

@adithorp, a South facing relatively high couloir, Alagna springs to mind but this is guess the couloir not the resort

@rambotion, Wow really didn't expect that to be right 
I'd heard of people skiing the gully down MamTor on rare occations but really was a guess.
Given the small amount of off piste I've done, that does leave me with an issue of lack of photos... Not sure of the name for this one so the lift to access the area will do...
PS. @snowball, Edale is PeakDistrict not 'Dales |
Carrying over to page 2 with a guess of from Cime de Caron?

While I love the idea of this thread, I suspect the reality is it's going to be way to hard to guess many.

Very good and as close as I was with Edale. Your go.

The middle of this photo is a named off piste zone which I believe only requires a 10 - 15 minute walk from the lifts. Unfortunately due to limited time with a guide, avalanche danger and closed lifts I didn't get the opportunity to ski it. The photo is taken from the start of a much mellower off piste run.
I am may struggle to post more that aren't either blindingly obvious or nigh on impossible to get

Other side of the valley. Canale Delle Miniere possibly.

Backside of La Plagne looking across to Grande Motte and Grande Casse in the middle distance so Combe de la Veliere with Bellecote on looker’s far left?
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
|
Col de la Chal - les Arcs. Aguille du St Esprit on left just out of shot. Grand Motte far distance, Grand Casse pointy bit middle. Bellcote left side just going out of shot.

@beeryletcher, i thought about from Col de la Chal but then you’d see the Gd Casse more straight on rather than obliquely and more along the ridge...

@beeryletcher, is of course right, the col itself is just down to my left, I think that I had barely scooted off the Arabulle at this point.

@Grinning, so which part of Bellcote are you suggesting is on the left? Have we gone up Bellcote and turned right on the Glacier lift and then right, rather than left on the traverse to the North Face?

@beeryletcher, In which case I misled us when i said Gd Casse: we’re not looking at Gd Casse as the “pointy bit middle” but Ailet and the ridge behind Ailet. Ailet and Bellecote obscure the Gd Casse

@Grinning, all about the angle, all about the angle. Once you're into the Chal enough the Casse will hove into view.

That spike should be memorable but I don't remember it. Verbier?
It is a bit like the Envers, Vallee Blanche, but that is rock, not ice tumbled around.

You got the resort although that was a bit too easy so need the mountain for the prize...

Hmm, I would have said somewhere to the left of the Backside of Mont Fort, but you didn't react to @hold_my_biere.

When finding that one I also came across this beautiful, narrow, rarely skied one down the other side. Mont Fort has so many possibilities for the adventurous!

This conversation is waaay above my paygrade - but is that something you could ski down, in those conditions, or would you descend it by rope ?
Edit: descend, not ascend - duh

@Pejoli, looks like you'd do a bit of sidestepping/sideslipping from where the photo's taken before you get to the real skiing. It's usually a short abseil to get into that Poubelle, I believe
