 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
I booked a last minute long weekend ski trip to Morzine in a few weeks. We arrive the day before the start of the ‘zone B’ french school holidays (we will be skiing Friday 4th Feb- Monday 7th Feb). No other ‘zones’ are yet on school holidays that weekend.
We have been to Morzine many times over New Years Eve, I wondered how the first weekend of the zone B french school holidays might compare in terms of lifts queues and pistes being busy.
Has anyone been to Morzine at this time of year and how have you found it?
Also if we wanted to ski to Avoriaz one day and have apres ski drinks there until say 6ish, could we ski down the small blue slope to the top of the Prodain express bubble lift to get back to to Morzine after the chair lifts have stopped?
Thanks so much.
Rebecca

Less (and better behaved) than at any other time in the French Hoildays, probably about the same as New Years.

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

Officially you can't ski down from Avoriaz to Prodains after the lifts have closed as the pistes close at 4:30/5:00 so they are clear for piste bashing and you have to download on the Prodains gondola. Of course that's officially and the piste's still there, you might just get shouted at by the ski patrol if they catch you/have to dodge a piste basher (though I don't think it's usually an early-bashed run).
Another option is to ski down to the bottom of the Ardent bubble and hit the apres in Happy Hours. Wednesday's the really big night as all the seasonairs are out but think it's open every day. The M bus run till 6pm and takes you back the 'other' side of the wobbly bridge, up to the head of the valley in Morzine.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I don't think they use cables down that piste, but where they do you risk way more than beinh shouted at by venturing on a closed piste after hours...

If you've had a drink - take the cable car not the risk of running into a piste basher or a tree. Not worth the risk. Saturdays are quieter - Sundays are busier but getting out early doors and dodging peak lunch times etc really works.
