 Poster: A snowHead
|
An American friend (male and expert level!) and I (female and intermediate level!) will be skiing in Megeve in the next 2 weeks 7th to 19th February--so if any of you snowHeads are around that area and would like to join us for a few runs--do let us know---I will be checking my email!
Snow conditions are reported to be excellent!

Would have been delighted to meet up, but we are in Mottaret that time.
Just felt sorry for this post looking so lonely......

Would have been great but next out on 17th ... and in Austria.
Considered Megeve a couple of seasons ago and it didn't look great for the expert (not that I am one - merely "quite advanced" whatever that means). A couple of black pistes and little mentioned re off-piste.
I would appreciate some feedback on the view of 'American friend' on scope and places to ski for advaned/expert level. Have a great time

Hi Chris, Inga and BOOthy--thanks for your replies!--We have in fact just today returned from Megeve after only the one week there--snow conditions were superb--but the French school holidays had started and I have never seen such lift queues or traffic on the slopes (mainly teeny tots following teacher in a duck line-- and teenage snowboarders surfing in between--)---so we never had a chance to check in at the internet cafe to see these replies---anyway--about Megeve: I usually go there in March or early April--it is a charming village, and I find the skiing just about right--(as an advanced (?) intermediate)---My friend came over from the USA--he is a ski instructor--and sure enough I got some constructive criticism--to help polish my "style"--or rather --delete bad habits once and for all...but I'll let him say a few words about how Megeve compares to his home ground---so watch this space!
PS I expect to go back to Megeve again in mid-March--will put up post again! Bye for now

Manda, --no, we didn't get over to St Niolas---but hope to do so next time --and yes, I know just what you mean about the EFS---they keep an eagle-eye on anyone "instructing"--which of course my friend was only doing in a friendly way--occasionally!
I know several of the English chalet companies in Megeve (have stayed with a couple of them in past years)--have had just such problems--as they teach and guide their own clients---but I believe by now they have some sort of compromise or arrangemant with the ESF--not to be "treading on each other's toes"--or skis--so I gues all's well ---and the snow was falling merrily --when we left last Saturday!
