 Poster: A snowHead
|
What an amazing day’s skiing. Well afternoon actually. I have to say that the departure from Chamonix and exploration of small unknown ski resorts in the southern alps has been fantastic in terms of freshies. When I was on the case in Cham and skiing all day every day then I might have managed 5000m of fresh tracks in the few days after a snowfall but with a lot of work and a lot of queue stress.
On Saturday I just drove up to my new favourite resort, its tiny, five drag lifts and that is it. But there is 850m of vertical. And, on a blue sky powder day like Saturday there were only 15 cars in the car park and only about 3 other people tackling the off piste.
So in 6 stress free laps without any queuing and any racing to get the best line I managed to ski fantastic open terrain followed by nicely spaced trees. Awsome.
I wish I’d got some piccies but just didn’t want to stop.

I guess there is no need to guard the secret spot, no one will come down here anyway. This is the official tourist office website
http://www.crevoux.fr/
nice huh. I am thinking of offering to make them a new one in return for an annual pass for as long as they use the site. But at 12€ a day it will take some time to work it off.

pfffft - the lack of real estate investment potential and fine dining opportunities really counts against this place in my book
