Poster: A snowHead

Hi
Does anyone know if the new blue run which leads from the top of Diables back to the resort in Les Deux Alpes is open yet. If so where does it bring you back to?

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

Hi stewpot, from what I hear, it's not in place this season, although there is a new run that allows you to access the Petit Cretes green run after getting off the Diable telecabin, without having to schlepp up the hill to the top of the Cretes run.
It's shown on the new piste map and I've heard from someone who has been in resort that it saves your poor legs up that hill!!

snowskisnow, Now you mention I remember that too now. I prefer Diable or L'Y (or whatever they're called now) myself for coming down. Should be a good week and perhaps see you there at Easter.

is it just me who has no particular problem with downloading in a lift if it makes sense?

pam w, No, I took a lift down every day last Easter, Valentin was the only run open and it wasn't very inviting.

pam w, I have downridden a chair before now and may do so again. Perhaps we should start the Uphill Only Club?

Guilty.
I've only skied it once, as the OH didn't fancy it (despite being a much better skier than me) so I had a go at the end of our week in L2A. I think perhaps the way everyone had been telling me all week that it wasn't a good idea (including the rep) made it quite a daunting prospect. Once I got going it actually wasn't too bad, but getting the courage to set off did take some time!
Probably 4.30pm on Boxing Day wasn't a best time to give it a go as it was absolutely rammed.

You know it makes sense.

I actually loved The Valantin! Been to L2A twice in spring and both times that was lush with soft spring snow. I'd go as far as to say it was my favourite run in the resort.
