Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Off-Piste guide recommendations for La Plagne?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Guys, Gals,

Anyone know of a good off-piste guide for La Plagne for a day? We'll only be a couple of us, probably happy to join a group if it's too expensive for just us, will need to borrow/rent transceivers and kit.
We'll be based out of Belle Plagne for a couple of weeks in March, know the piste very well, aware of the number of potential off-piste routes but haven't explored them as yet. Probably won't want to do too much in the way of climbing (ie any) as one of our party won't be fit enough or young enough.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. The chap we had in Val Thorens for EoSB '08 was pretty good.

Cheers,
Simon.

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

In Montchavin you have two great guides especially if you want to do the North Face of the Bellecote http://pistehors.com/backcountry/wiki/Savoie/La-Plagne-Bellecote

Try either Olivier Favre at Evolution 2 or Jean Michele Broche Intersport at Jean Michelle Sport.

Contact numbers are on this web page http://www.montchavin-lescoches.com/www-magasins_sport-879-ETE-UK.html

Try offpisteskiing. He lives only a few minutes from Champagny-en-Vanoise - which is part of the La Plagne system.

Or you can Google and try Chris Harrop. Based in Ste Foy, knows the whole area very well, top chap.

Each year a small group of us usually hire an instuctor for 2/3 hours on afternoon. The last couple of times they've happened to be th ESF instructors. Each time we've said we'd like to do a bit of off piste they've been more than happy to take us. In fact, I think they relish the chance of getting off piste rather than their usual group lessons.
