WesTaylor, I'm out too, various times, last week in Jan for a 'few weeks' for starters. PM me later on if you want a meet - or see you in the Mont Blanc in Vallandry - arguably, the pest pub in the Alps.... my apartments < 100yds from there 
Whatever, hope the season goes well, Allan

Westaylor - Were staying over in Vallandry, which isn't far from 1800, during the day, easy to hook up for some boarding! Not sure about Apres Ski after the lifts shut but would be good to sort something out,
drop me an email sometime leonbaker13@hotmail.com

WesTaylor, Who are you working for. i will be in les Arcs most of the season, based in Arc 1800 some of the time. Pm me if you want to go ride now the snow has arrived.
Dry Boy, There are a few people over in Vallandry. Could meet up over you way sometimes. Apres ski is tough as it is a long hike back to vallandry from Arc 1800. You could ride in the dark but you would need to stay in your gear all evening. PM if you want.

Snowcrazy, defineately be good to hook up on the slopes, may be even brave the hike back at some point! Whats your PM???
I've got limited experience on the powder although keen to learn some good off piste routes and push it!
My main goal for the season is to hit the park and learn to jump properly, not sure the misses is going to like that one though!

Snowcrazy, Oh and well I remember, I am looking to head up to Tignes and Ste Foy at some point to get some sliding in, and possibly 3 valleys ...
How many days do you get on the season pass?? How long do you think it will take to get up to the resorts? I'll have my car overthere!!
and def...going to head up for the X Games

Dry Boy, One 'free' day at both Les Trois Vallées & L'espace Killy, IIRC. Courchevel took me about 45mins last year. It will be much better if you can hook up with people who know the resort. We did Courshevel last season and weren't impressed, but that may have been because we didn't know the area at all.
Getting back from 1800 to Vallandry isn't so bad, you just need to get to the Belvedere, it is a bit of a hike but I've done it a few times...completely on 'autopilot'.

allanm, One day - Thats rubbish!!! I was hoping to get a few days in Tignes at least!!! Courchevel is an amazing resort, spent a week there a few years back but took a while to find our feet!
Been to Tignes/Val 5 times and LOVE IT as a ski area but the resorts well I preferred the Peisey Vallandry area!
May be i'll have to get people to pay for my lift passes in exchange for lifts to other resorts if they fancy a day elsewhere! 45 minutes is nothing, thats great news!

There is a new service road from vallandry to 1800. I cycled this a couple of times in the summer (both ways). Its also much flatter than the foret so should not be so much of a chore. I think it's for emergency vehicles only, but nothing stopping you walking It.
Its no more than a mile (my not even be that) from start of the new road in vallandry to 1800.
Shame they are not running buses on it.

tuxpoo, I biked it as well but it seemed quite a bit more than a mile, but then I was not very fit at the time. Still have a go and then post what it was like for others to know.
Dry Boy, to pm me you have to use my name snowcrazy in the top search thing and then hit the PM link. Can anyone else explain that better?

You know it makes sense.
|
snowcrazy, LOL! yes my bike riding distance may be a bit distorted by my bike legs in the summer ( I was doing 150miles a week prior to going out).
shame I didn't measure it. Still recon it would be easier than walking up foret.

I wonder what happened to WesTaylor.
He seemed so excited about his season in Les Arcs. Interesting he was not actually working, and found the place very cold.
Then silence . . . ? Anyone know how he got on?
