 Poster: A snowHead

|
Booked. Staying at the Moris Chalethotel with Mark Warner. I've been at MW gigs before so know generally what to expect, but I haven't stayed at the Moris before. I know some of the rooms can be a little shonky, but I made sure I got one with a bog and shower en suite. So for anyone else has been there, what can I expect? And how far is it from the Blue Note?

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

Bus stops? I understood it was "just across the road" from Solaise and Bellevarde? Not bothered if it's a few minutes walk to the bars in the evening, but I'm not keen about grappling with buses to and from the slopes every day.

Dr John, It's all of a hundred yards or so over the road, and then a little bit to a lift (from memory, go up the lift for the nursery slopes, then ski down to access lifts to all areas...). Not worth sweating over. The bus stop outside will run you up to Le Fornet or down to La Daille, and numerous stops along the way. There are plenty of resorts where this distance would be marked as ski in/ski out (probably)

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Dr John, If you wake up and there has been a fresh load of powder , get on the first bus to Le Fornet and you will find untracked powder for the first few hours run after run , it is the quietest place as the Leissieres Express is usually one of the last lifts to open giving access from Val to Le Fornet. Never stayed at the Morris but used it on many occassions for apres , listen to the live bands, a game of pool , watch the football and generally meet people. Enjoy.

Dr John, Sorry, should have clarified that i meant the buses that run up and down the valley  It's actually handy if you want to get to/from La Daille/ Le Fornet fairly quickly. As Scot Ski pointed out it's the quickest way to access the passilas glacier area above Le Fornet. Also handy if your playing in the trees above Le Daille or having a beer at the Folie Duece. Simply ski down to the roadside in Le Daille and hop on the bus.

FAQ
It's at what i would call the "far" end of the main drag. Pub downstairs with regular live bands on. Not much chance of an early night in 
. Pretty close to bus stops etc IIRC. I know someone who goes on a fairly regular basis as a single traveller. Soon hooks up with a group either through the ski hosting or the Ski Club. Some one will be along soon to give you the inside line. It's definitely a skiers place.
