 Poster: A snowHead
|
The daughter's off there on Sunday with her school chums. I've never heard of it, I'm afraid. Will she enjoy it? Yes she will, because she'll be with her mates, but will she enjoy the skiing? She's a strong skier, enjoys bumps and off piste (which she will almost certainly not be allowed to do).
She's rowing in Spain at the moment, alright for some, no?

richmond, I've been a few times, it has some long steepish runs from top to bottom, one that starts a s a blach if I remember and goes red then to blue. Bumps - may be a few around, its not thought of as an expert resort but there is plenty of off piste as usual if you know where to look (or if your allowed too of course).

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

To orientate you its about 40 minutes drive along the valley from Orelle which is the gondola that takes you up to Val Thorens, lots of locals/workers in Le Corbier and La Toussuire ski there on their day off. www.pistehors.com have a good write up on the resort which makes interesting reading. Nearish by is Val Cenis and the tour de france go through some of the cols in the summer.

Thansk Frosty. Not necessarily ideal for the daughter, but not too bad at all. The snow there seems remarkably good at present, but whether it'll hang around, who knows?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Twizit, thanks. Mont Corbier it is; any good? She's off there today; on the web cam, the snow looks good and the place is empty, so she should have a decent enough time. Whatever, she'll spend a week nattering until her (and everyone else's) ears bleed, so she'll be happy.

Anyone in Le Corbier this season? We're heading there on Saturday. Any tips or must do pistes? Any quaint bars or Happy hour deals for âpre beer?
Thanks.

FAQ
. There was a good base of snow laid down from January, but the lack of snow during most of Feb meant what was there was pretty hard packed and icy in places. Resort runs were a bit bare in places by the end of the day so the beginners in our group were struggling a little. Lots of off piste areas that looked really tempting... until you tried them and rattled your teeth out as most were solid ice.
