Snowy Falls, Did Les Inversions and La Crozats recently. Fantastic. Les Inversions was quite bumpy but great, great funa dn I was nealry weeping with thigh burn by the end and La Crozats was steep (manageable) but not to bumpy.

Snowy Falls,
From the top of Roche de mio down Inversens and Crozats is an excellent longish that has a good vertical drop as well. For a nice shortish mogul run try the blue L'arpette run (maybe to the side of it?) where it cuts down to join the main run down to Plagne Bellecote (accesesed from the Arpette lift).

Snowy Falls, Head over to Montalbert and there are two fab reds through the trees into the village - Bois de Croselin and Raclisse. Both usually empty and with good snow. I will be cruising up and down them from Sunday onwards so see you!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Did they walk down in their socks?

's strikes again!
Thanks for all the responses; so the recommendations are:
i) Inversens & Crozats (I'm sure this was red last year!)
ii) Bois de Croselin and Raclisse - I will definitely try this as I didn't get over towards Montalbert last year
iii) Emile Allais & Andre Martzolf - these look great again didn't ski them last year
iv) L'arpette for practising my (lack of) mogul skills!
ajpaul, No, thankfully no trip down a slope in socks! After a bit of encouragement and pointing out an escape by traversing to the left boots and skis went back on again!

Snowy Falls,
Les Sources off the top of Roche Del Mio is another nice red. Had a great icy wall of death in the middle of it that has been widened this season but it is still a nice long run.
Be careful if you go near La Roche because there is a madman called BernardC who lives in the woods down there who has been known to stalk skiers who go down there shouting 'get of my fecking land'

Snowy Falls, try Kamikaze and Hari Kari - one from the Grande Rochette and the other I think from Les Verdons. Nice and smooth higher up, but just towards bottom certainly in the afternoon you find some moguls just b4 the Verdons lift back up. More importantly, eat at the Verdons mt rest. 1/2 way down these runs (they join together) - excellent daily specials...Agree with Les Sources - great fun.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

juliebenn, but tends to be very mogully?

it is a bit mogully but it had loads of snow on it so although challenging it was fine i think theres a couple of reds that are harder in la plagne and it gives your confidence a BIG boost
