 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just noticed on the Courchevel website that they are going to provide an Indian theme for the Indiens piste above C1650. What on earth could that mean? Do you think that skiers wil have to flee from brutal axe wielding Cheyenne? Skirt around the white man's brutal oppression of the natives? Wigwam bivouacs in case you get stuck overnight?
I would have thought that a tree-lined green run in a gentle and wide gully would have been sifficient theming for a piste like Indiens?

And in Les Arcs. A couple of times I've been given free chocolate by a skiing purple cow.

rob@rar.org.uk, I know a 9 year old that would spend all day on that same piste if there was a chance of free sweeties.

boredsurfin, doesn't appear that often, fortunately, and not always in the same Milka area. I was once acosted some distance from the cow's home pasture.

I'll have what he's smoking, purple skiing cows indeed. Next you'll be telling me that giant ones stand at the side of the pistes during ski races.

I have seen the purple cows as well. We may all have all been adversley affected by the contents of the Kate Moss thread

You know it makes sense.

I like the giant penguin 'Bobo' that some Austrian resorts use as their childrens ski mascot. Many a time I've been tempted to ski off after a young lady instructor wearing a Bobo rucksack...
Aside from that Piste's should be 'snow' themed

Pra Loup has a Milka piste and also one called Air France - I don't think I've ever been down the Air France one so can't say if it's lined with surly baggage handlers.

I have been known to ski after a rapidly departing purple cow begging more chocolates, and ended up racing one one day in a challenge

boredsurfin, the kids used to love the Milka Piste, there is/was one in Serre Chevalier too. The Milka cow would give out free chocolate.

snowbunny, ok compared to Lindt, Milka's not in the same league, but it's still better than Cadburys

Chris Bish, I'm sure that certain cheeses and chocolate are meant to complement each other. Hmmm chocolate

Next idea! Gunfights on the OK piste. (at Val d) Pistols cold be picked up at the top of the Furnival and you could happily blast away at each other while skiing down. Might help reduce lift queues. Maybe not......

There is a piste in La Thuile called Fourclaz Bassa, which I thought perhaps had a "Glaswegian" theme

The aptly named " Oh God " above Wengen which used to be an off-piste route but is now classified as free ride piste. Seriously though it is not too bad except when the weather conditions are poor. For a photo of it see my gallery.
