2nd time in Tignes for me this year.
Ooooooppppps ,it seems ive posted a reply on the 'dark side'
I am taking a friend of mine who is an early intermediate boarder. Is there anywhere in the Espace Killy piste area he should avoid.
As a skier I have no idea where if anywhere he will realy find difficult apart from traversee du laisinant into VD.he must carry his speed. Its a long walk in for a boarder if you keep your speed up
Is anywhere else tricky for boarders.

Bottom of Santons and Epaule d Charvet (spelling?) both have a flat valley floor followed by a very short climb. Many need to walk out, but there is a nice restaurant midway along the walk. Santons itself is a blue that many people hate it because it is a bit like a very long half-pipe but with the added thrills of moguls and scared beginners.

Avoid petit col - narrow and flat.

In Tignes Le lac. If you stand at the bus stop on the snowfront it is directly up the road in front of you, past the Aiguille Percee hotel (which is on your right), the Alpaka is on the left hand side just before the road bends around to the right.

Renry, Avoid some of the green runs in the tranquil area off the back of bellevarde after fresh snow, as the flats are well sticky. Great off-piste though.
Epaule d charvet black is amazing and a much better route to take off Bellevarde than the Santons run (Santons is narrow and really, really choppy) but likeAdrian says, the flats at the bottom are a real pain to do on a board unless you carry lots of speed out.
Other than that there are loads of good runs. The blues in the EK are pretty steep anyway but not scary. The reds going into La Daille in Val are a bit icy at times and you really should get him on the Gratalu run above Tignes if he wants speeeeed

You know it makes sense.

Specialman, is santons the one that's like a natural half pipe? i quite liked that one - until it got a bit moguly (sp?) towards the bottom.

If you are into House and Electro, there is a massive free David Guetta gig in Tignes on New Years Eve. I planned to go but the drive across from Cham might be a bit too much, considering the likely traffic.
It will probably be a great atmosphere even if its not your music.
David Guetta does Tignes
Enjoy.
