 Poster: A snowHead
|
Does anyone know why this piste is nearly always closed? It is an innocuos (spelling?) looking blue run down from Altiport to the top of Meribel..in fact to the foot of the Morel lift..right next to the Chalet I am heading to on 4th March. It si one of only 2 runs closed in Meribel valley at the moment.
Just wondered if we can expect it to be shut or if something unusual is going on at the moment.
Cheers

There's a Yeti on the loose that's been eating anyone who sleeps in his bed in the chalet

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

can't really help other than to say that i skied it many times during my season in meribel in 1998/99.
main problem is that this bi-passes the Rond-Pointe - a must attend apres-ski bar every weekday evening

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

really isn't far from the Rond-Pointe to Morel. You ski down the main piste a short while then stop when it takes a sharp left.
If i was there with you I'd show you a back route short cut to Morel from the ROnde Pointe - involves a few gardens, holes in hedges, crossing the road and jumping off a garage roof. Best performed after a proper apres session!

It's a very little used run compared to the main route in to Meribel and with no snow cannons (unlike the run going right down in to Meribel Village) I guess it's not worth the effort in trying to open it unless there's plenty of snow. Apres in Lodge du Village, Meribel Village on a Thursday night is alwalys good too, then the free Meribus back.

It is often shut as it is quite rocky and has no sno-cannon. Ski it anyway - rock hopping is fun!
