Poster: A snowHead
|
Will be skiing for a couple of weeks in Morzine & Les Gets next month. Is there a photo required for the lift pass, and what are the pass options? Not sure if the course I'm doing will take my any further afield than those resorts, so are there resort-only passes available, or would it be better for me to get a PdS region pass?

There is a Les Gets/Morzine pass which will require a photo over 8 days. Not sure about PdS one. I would check with course organizer in case going up to Avoriaz.
Normally would say there is plenty to do on local pass for 2 weeks but as off piste well tracked you may want to go further.

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

I've got Les Gets/Morzine passes for myself and the missus - is there an affordable supplement to pay in order to 'upgrade' a pass to a full PDS pass if the skiing isn't as good as we'd hoped?

rob@rar, 7 days M/LG €156, PDS €211, PDS day pass €39. If you really, really are going to stay local you may be better off with a M/LG pass. I just think it's unlikely. Even Morzine BASS do a lot of work up in Avoriaz.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

David Murdoch, the course is with BASS. I've emailed them, but no response so far. Anyone know how much 12-day passes cost? The Morzine website only lists up to 7 days.

rob@rar, When I did my course with BASS Les Gets I bought a full PdS Pass and skied in Avoriaz and further on the first Sunday before the course and the middle weekend, it didn't seem to cost much more IIRC. We never left the Les Gets/Morzine area during the course though. Here is the PdS price list: http://www.portesdusoleil.com/image/pdf/Tarifs_2007-2008.pdf

Spyderman, thanks. I've got a couple of days in Les Arcs to warm up and probably won't ski the middle weekend (Child Protection is on the Saturday, and I might need a bit of a rest and the opportunity to wash my smalls on the Sunday )

rob@rar, Are you doing the course in Morzine or Les Gets?

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Les Gets is where it's based, although I presume we'll wander a bit between the two resorts looking for appropriate terrain.

rob@rar, That means you'll be having in all probability Hugh Monney taking the course. There are a few things you definitely need to know. I'll PM you.
There's an Instructor from Hemel called Sean on the same course, has a Chalet in Morzine, nice guy, you'll get on fine.

If it's Hugh, you'll spend most of the time on Mt. Chery

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

Spyderman, Sean Carroll? He's in the same group as me (I think BASS are running at least two L2 courses during March).

rob@rar, have a look at http://boutique.pleney.com/boutique/liste_rayons.cfm
It's an online booking site that will give you all the prices. These are online prices tho, for collecting the pass at the Pleney lift in Morzine. The lift pass will be a bit dearer if you buy in resort, but at least it gives you an idea.
12 days for PDS is 305 euros, and you can look at all the permutations you might want. I assume there must be a website to book a lift pass and collect it in Les Gets, but I can't find one.
If you do manage to book online, you will have to email or post a photograph to them.

You know it makes sense.

rob@rar, Yes, Sean Carroll. I think you probably met him at Hemel.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:
