Skiing in Avoriaz...

[bazza_g]

I'm out of here for a week in Avoriaz - I've not been there before so will report back what the piste and beer is like

After no snow since the start of Feb it's been chucking it down for the last few days - great news, only its effing freezing in the forecast for next week

will try not to break a leg

Enjoy

I had a cracking time in Les Arcs last week, but by the end of the week the snow on the lower slopes was melting fast.

Mornings - sheet ice until 1pm, when it turned to slush! By the time I was back at about 1300m to get the lift back down to the chalet I needed water skis not carvers

Full marks to the piste bashers - you could see them working hard every night to scrape snow from around the areas to put onto the pistes for the next day.

All the French you will need to remember is "Un/deux/etc. vin chaud s'il vous plait"

I've not been to Avoriaz for a while, but a good area to ski around. The circuit is a good ski. Been meaning to go back at somepoint and try and go round twice in one day.

If there is good snow, the wall is fun. In bad snow it's horrid.

Have fun.

I'm off to Meribel the following week

Just got back from Courmayeur in Italy. It was great until the back end of the week when we had the same kind of snow quality as you, had to go on the high runs to avoid the slush.

Were off again to Tignes in 3 weeks time, never been there before but heard good things about Val d'Isere and Tignes, looking forward to it.
