Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Complete newby here heading to Les Prodains at the weekend and signed up for 3 days snowboarding tuition with Avoriaz Alpine Ski School.
Have looked everywhere online and on here, but can't fathom exactly what all the different ski passes cover (Avoriaz, Morzine, PdS) and which one I need to get and where that lets me go!
Any assistance greatfully received.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Welcome to s ericezza.

If "complete newby" means "new to snowboarding" (as opposed to SnowHeads) then you'll just want an Avoriaz lift pass, which will cover more area than you'll be able to cover.

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

Complete newby here, as well as to snowboarding!
Thanks for the reply... do you know if that includes the cable car up from Les Prodains as well?
There is also a Snowboarding pass available - but I have no idea what that gives you in addition/instead of a normal pass (it's about half the price btw)

ericezza, yes, the Avoriaz pass includes the cable car.
I've no idea what the "Snowboarding" pass is sorry. To be honest I didn't even know it existed, but at 33.80€ for an adult for two days it's a bit of a bargain.
Maybe it's half the price because you'll spent half the time sat on your back bottom

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

This is one of the best PDS piste maps I've found. Avoriaz pass presumably covers the 'purple' area. The only thing about it is it doesn't tell you the lift direction - the massive PDS one does - but doesn't mark the runs, that is much easier to find.

I agree...that map seems to explain the Avoriaz pass (I know there is also an individual Morzine one, which must be the orange zone)
Now all I need to find out is what the devil this cheap Snowboard pass is all about!!

OK... having scoured (literally) the Avoriaz website I accidentally stumbled across the following info:
The snowboard pass is valid on : Prodains cable car, Stade chairlift, Surf draglift , Arare draglift, Lac Intrêts chairlift, Tour chairlift, Snowpark draglift, la Chapelle draglift, draglift des écoles, Trashers draglift.
Cross-referencing with the map, that looks like a decent area for a beginner like me, so I will probably go for that. (seem to have answered my own question a bit!!)
