boredsurfin, Ta, never used the Telemetor, on approaching Grand Rochette can you ski straight down into 1800 or do you have to pole it a bit?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

thefatcontroller, Straight down to lift, poles required if you are light of foot

But if you sit in a bar along there and watch the flow of skiers walkers skidoo's varying heights of lifts etc I don't think there is an answer to solve all the routes, there was a suggestion to move all the lifts up a bit, can you image trying to do that with the Funi Plagne

boredsurfin, Moving carpet, like the kids use. Rope would be lethal, fun but lethal 
|

|
|
|
thefatcontroller, Moving carpets are a no no now after 2 deaths on them in France. Where they are in use (Bellecote for instance) they have to have an attendant. IFIRC French law now prevents any new ones being installed.
David may know more ....

Just remembered. When going up Becoin I got the impression that if you took the drag for the stadium you could ski across to Aime and in the distance I saw a drag you hit. Does that take you high enough to get down the La Roche/Monty runs?

thefatcontroller, Not sure? We don't think you would be able to ski across the 'curve' of the bowl and maintain enough height, but will have a look into it this summer

You know it makes sense.

boredsurfin, I shall await your report  . Looks feasible on piste map but seemed a long way to go to find out you couldn't

Had a great day in La Plagne today, did loads. Even made it all the way down to montalbert. Not bad for the end of April, the snow on the pistes down there was really good MOST of the time. All over La Plagne there were great spring conditions on piste, but off piste you had to look carefully at the snow before taking a route as there are now many slides. Bellecote was very busy, seems to be more skiers in La Plagne than les Arcs. The North face was very busy, lots of groups doing many routes. Good snow in some places at the top, but heavy and well skied lower down. One Guide said the best part of the day was the lunch meal. Says it all!! boredsurfin, hope to see you next season, pity you had already left.

FAQ
. Thanks to 
and I kept saying to him to go on and don't let me ruin his run - but he wouldn't. I did feel so guilty about it - if you're in touch, please tell him I said Hi and Thank you and (from my point of view) a real pleasure to ski with him! 
. Good to see your skiing shut lady's front bottom head up at the dinner table that night. Best you check at dinner table for sure which blacks you were explicitly told not to do that day as by then you will have probably skied them during the day
