| Blue sky, great snow everywhere and not much wind. It does not get much better than that, well sometimes. Waste deep powder as well. |

Everything was open and you could get all the way down to villaroger. met up with friends at the Vanoise Express (linking Les Arcs to la Plagne which also opened) today and we cruised down to Villaroger and back and not a queue in sight. The snow up the top was good and if you keep off the main track still really fresh. The Grand Col was great but it seemed at times like everyone wanted to go there. Going down to Peisey and Vallandry where the canons are was fun as you can really carve on the well prepared pistes. Going the other way to Arc 1800 and then 1600 was firm and nothing coming through so you could really let rip. The pistes over 1600 were still very empty today but judging by the number of cars around at the end of the day and the people going up on the funic, it is going to get really busy now.
Lot's of the off piste has now been done. there are starting to get tracks in some of the 'crazy' places. Fun if you have the nerves for it. As always the back valley in the park was very popular today and I met quite a few people coming out saying the snow was great and not yet to tracked. You do need to take a guide if you fancy that trip but it is worth the money.
The snow park is now open and what a great way to finish the day, pulling a few tricks and then having a drink at the Altiport watching the sun go down before heading for home.
As long as it stays cold, there is a great base for the holidays and anyone coming out should have a great time.
Hope to see some of you out here this winter. Ask for Snowcrazy at Bar Bo Bo in 1800 near the tourist office most days between 6 - 7pm.
Enjoy |
