Poster: A snowHead
|
Going with snowbizz for the first time in Jan with the wife and kids.
Is there any good off piste to be had? As I'll be on my own with the wife and kids on the green and blues is there any good boarding guides there.

I'm not leaving them all the time just in the mornings when they have lessons!

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

Spent a day there with a guide a couple of years ago. Some good off-piste through the trees and an excellent route over the back of the top lift (can't remember the name) but it's a 15 min hike up to La Pendine then follow the ridge before dropping in to the Vallon de Narreyroux. Nothing particularly steep or gnarly but an excellent run and we still had freshtracks 2 days after snowfall.

As it's a family resort if there is new snow it can stay untracked for days. The skiing in the trees is fun. There is great variety including off piste in a relativly small area. You can all go up the same lifts-the family take the red runs down and you go off piste and all meet at the bottom. Dont go in the French holidays though.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

There's a couple of lads in the ESF who are wicked boarders, although i think snowbizz may have some of them working for them direct now! Some great terrain there, and like others have said doesn't really get tracked out

Roughneck - the wife and I are also looking at heading out there Jan 12 for a couple of weeks for first time. Mainly for our 2 girls to have a nice time - I am praying for good off-piste to play on in the mornings and maybe do some visits to Montgenevre and that run from La Pendine. Some of the vids on youtube look very nice with some bowls and tree stuff. Fingers crossed
