Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all - I’m in Chatel 13-18 Feb 2022 with the family, and am looking for off-piste guide recommendations if anyone can help?
Also happy to share a guide and/or buddy up for some off-piste adventures - I know quite a few of the more accessible routes, but my usual mates are not out that week, and I’m obviously not doing off-piste alone!
Thanks all!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Where are you thinking of going?
Savolaire, Morgins Forest, Chalet Neuf, Couloirs de Couboré, VdM?

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

Thanks - when without a guide we typically did the shorter sections near the pistes, with a little hiking here and there. And sorry - I don’t know many of the names. E.g. favourite sites were off Mossettes Swiss side, then the short hike+traverse that drops in above the first blue Didier Defago run where the cafe is, various Morgin forest runs, the long-ish hike past the black at Lindarets that takes you to the flower meadows that drop back into Pre La Jou, long Cubori traverse that drops in above Brochaux, etc. I’ve skied off the back side of either Cornebois or Linga (can’t remember which) with a guide down into Morgin, which was a fantastic run, but would need right snow conditions for that one after 2-years covid induced time off the slopes… Don’t think I’ve actually skied Valee de la Manche

If you can get him then Guillaume's the man to have. Had a week with him last week and he was able to find us (patches of) soft, untracked snow each day.
Right now DIY off piste is reasonably low risk but if we get much fresh snow it's going to shoot right up - the base of the snow pack didn't get a melt/freeze at the start of the season to bond it to the ground and conditions have made a lot of the snowpack above it quite sugary so more inclinded to slip than stick with much weight of fresh stuff on top of it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks @Mjit, any chance you have contact details for him? I couldn’t find searching Google… Much appreciated. And indeed, given there’s due to be a bit (dusting?!) of snow it would be a good option…
